Me: Can I get a decaf latte with skim milk and no foam?
Caribou: That’s a decaf latte with skim milk and no foam?
Me: Yes
Caribou: Would you like a breakfast sandwich?
Me: No, but do you have any croissants?
Caribou: Um, Let me check.
Me:
Caribou: No, we’ve discontinued them.
Me: (You’re a coffee shop, why would you get rid of croissants?) Um, ok. Do you have any bagels? What are they, plain?
Caribou: Yes we have bagels. We have asiago cheese ones.
Me: I’ll take that with cream cheese.
Caribou: I’m sorry, we don’t actually carry cream cheese.
Me: (WTF!) What? You carry bagels but don’t carry cream cheese?
Caribou: Yeah, I don’t know why.
Me: Just the latte then.
(True story)
Dear Caribou,
If you want to stay a good coffee shop, don’t get rid of items that go well with coffee. You’re getting too hipster with your turkey egg-white sandwich that I’ve never seen anyone order. And don’t carry bagels if you’re not going to carry cream cheese!

It’s like the Scotch Tape store not having any scotch tape.
