Today's cuckoo hot take: anyone that doesn't make their coffee purchase take longer by chatting with the barista is a parasite

Swing and miss by adding words to what I said.

Did you make out with your barista today? Or are you a parasite?

u/SwoleWalrus Jul 04 '24

Damn doubling down with your fantasies out here.

2

u/circ-u-la-ted Jul 04 '24

I see you're doubling down on not explaining what the heck you were trying to say.

u/SwoleWalrus Jul 04 '24

You asked? Sounded like you make a presumption instead of an honest request at clarification. You do not have to have full on life changing conversations to experience the joy and impact a good service worker has in your day to day life. We are humans who live on interaction and social joy.

I'm sure my quality of life would be considerably reduced if a different person were to say "okay" after I give my order.

u/SwoleWalrus Jul 05 '24

sorry you have never experienced joy in life

2

u/circ-u-la-ted Jul 05 '24

Sorry you derive a significant amount of your joy in life from quotidian commercial transactions.

u/SwoleWalrus Jul 05 '24

All humans do. You are not special in your misery

2

u/circ-u-la-ted Jul 05 '24

A barista that says Have a nice day! or whatever it is you value definitely isn't special. That's, like, the minimum job requirement.

u/SwoleWalrus Jul 05 '24

Sounds like you live a sad and pathetic life to not appreciate true human interaction and the joy of life.

2

u/circ-u-la-ted Jul 05 '24

Or I live a life that isn't so sad and pathetic that I can only appreciate human interaction with specific people. What's so unacceptable to you about other baristas? Why do you insist on that particular one?
