Soy Mocha Guy


While running some errands this afternoon, I pulled through a drive-through coffee joint (not Starbucks) at my husband’s request. I was asked to bring him a mocha. As soon as I ordered it — “I’d like a medium decaf mocha with soy, no whip, please” — the young woman’s face lit up.

“I know who this is for,” she practically purred, all smiles.

Huh.

As she rang me up: “Ya know, we finally got him to tell us where he works, so I told him I’d be scouring the Gazette for errors from now on.”

Huh.

As she poured the drink: “Um, what’s his name? We’re gonna be starting a ‘Customer of the Month’ thing, that’ll give him discounts and stuff for that month, and we’ll put his picture up, and we’ve been trying to figure out the names of all our favorite customers. We only know him as Soy Mocha Guy.”

Huh. I’m married to Soy Mocha Guy.

I recently discovered how often he’s been running by this place to get what appears to be his signature drink, which I found funny, mostly because people I know who frequent coffee joints usually are jonesing for caffeine and need their daily fix to fend off headaches and sleepiness and life without a chemical dependence. But Soy Mocha Guy has been off caffeine for over a year now. He doesn’t even really like soy milk all that much.

Huh.

Is it wrong that, because the giggling girls there weren’t attractive, I found the whole thing quite amusing? If they’d been little hotties, would I be having a talk with Soy Mocha Guy about his newfound habit, and his new chatty little fans? Perhaps.

I wonder if anyone's ever referred to me as Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Girl. Maybe I should have Chris head to the DQ drive-through and find out...

So it's OK for Chris to be only be friendly with non-attractive people during the course of his day? Hmmm.

Robyn said...

Yes, that's what I'm saying. ;)

Funny how anonymous posters love to be snarky.

OK, I am beating Conolly (an attractive producer that I am friendly with during the course of my day) to the punch here and coming clean. She turned me on to "I'm Just Sayin" and I guess you could say I've been a closet fan of the blog. I couldn't resist snarkily stirring up the pot a bit with a comment...;-)

I however am NOT the Chicken Bacon Wrap man. Call me Veggie (Subway) with L,T,O, Green Pepper and Olive Guy.

You could have so much fun with that and Chris!

Let's all give a warm welcome to Carcich for being brave enough to come out of the closet. :)

I look forward to signed snarkiness from you from now on.
