An older couple argue all of the way to my till about where my accent is from...finally, the husband just asks me outright whether I am Canadian or American, and with a smile I tell him. The wife jumps in with anecdotes of their recent trip to BC, telling me that in every coffee shop they went to, they could just order a 'regular' coffee, and everyone knew what they meant. Recognizing the standard TimHo's order, I smiled and asked if that was in Tim Horton's.
"Oh no dear', she replied, 'We didn't go to Tim Hortons. We went to Vancouver, and to Victoria..."

i HATE it when people order "regular" coffee....that is not a size. so i ask, would you like tall, grande, or venti? blank stare, then loudly and slowly, "RE-GU-LAR." AND NO MATTER WHAT SIZE I GIVE THEM, IT'S THE WRONG ONE. it makes my heart hurt.
on top of causing that particular problem for me (along with the whole iced cappuccino issue), i'm angry with timho's for switching to pepsi. i swear to god they did it just to piss me off.
come home soon...i'm getting dangerously close to biting someone in the face!!
