😂 Coffee Chronicles: Laughter in Every Sip

The Lid Saga

A customer once ordered a hot drink, took it to the counter, and proceeded to pour it over herself. She then claimed the lid wasn't properly secured and sued the store. The store policy was updated to place the lid next to the cup for customers to apply themselves. Months later, the same customer returned and, upon receiving a cup with the lid on the side, remarked, "What, you're too lazy to put the lid on to customer’s cups?" It's a humorous reminder of the unexpected situations baristas sometimes face.notalwaysright.com
