    I was at Starbucks yesterday getting a Frappucino and I forgot that they were 40 cents more than a venti latte.

    Anways, the guy behind the counter recognized me (I go to Starbucks often), and he had flirted with me before.
    So he sees me and grins before launching into this insane barrage of English. I just laughed and smiled back before ordering.

    So he gives me the price and my face falls. I only had 4.50€ instead of 4.90€. I tell him that and say, 'Instead of venti, make it grande.'

    He looks at me, shakes his head and says, 'I'll buy it for you. It's a present for such a nice and hot day.'

    I start blushing madly which makes him even more cocky and smiley. He kept saying things like, 'It's no problem. It's a gift.'


    Totally made my day yesterday :grin:

    Yeah, it's a bit more expensive in some European (German) cities. I'm a bit surprised though that it would be this expensive in Bremen.

    Anyways....Great story!
