Man Was Charged $4,000 For A Latte After Saying Just One Word To The Barista

We all have our favorite spots to get coffee. This was the same for Joe; the small Italian café in the middle of the city was his go-to place. They sold the best latte in the city, and he was a loyal customer.
He loved sitting close to the entrance to people watch and get work done during the week. But on this day, he had no idea what was coming for him. He had no clue that something as simple as one word would make him have to pay for the most expensive latte in the world.

His Favorite Spot

Joe Amber loves lattes and is sometimes difficult to please, but once he visited this Italian café, it took a lot of work for him to leave. The waiters knew this was the case because of his regular table location, and how much he loved sitting close to the entrance to take in the view of the city.

He was frequently the first customer to enter the store when it opened. They also loved him because of his generous tips. But one day, he nearly lost his savings on a cup of coffee.

She’s New Here

He didn’t immediately notice a new staff member on this particular day. He was gathering up work when he spotted a new person from where he was sitting. Joe is known for his funny jokes and free spirit.

It was a ritual for him to introduce himself as he did with other employees, but she was focused on preparing a cup of coffee for a customer. He rang the waiter bell to get her attention, but she ignored him.

She Was Different

Her expression was so serious. “She’s probably having a rough time getting into the new system,” he mumbled as he sipped his latte. She looked different from the rest of the crew. She wasn’t smiling, and her grumpy face made her appear older.

She seemed so uninterested and tired, all of this he noticed from her expression. He was interested in getting to know her, but maybe today wasn’t a good day.

The Latte Meeting

Joe had a lazy morning, so he arrived at the café a little later than usual. He had a meeting with his colleague at work that day, and she was already waiting for him. He was used to having most of his meetings at the café because of how cozy and comfortable it is.

He ordered for his regular for his friend, but this time he wasn’t expecting what was waiting for him. It was Rose, the new waitress on duty. She looked so grumpy as usual, and Joe thought he could put a smile on her face, but it didn’t go as he had planned.
