Dawn was right, there is one more FF for 2015… Rochelle has gone for a re-run and this is one of my favourite photo prompts. I love this photo and the work that Jean Hays does is quite exceptional.
Happy New Year everyone. I wish you a happy and healthy 2016.
Here is my post, you can read the original here
- Photo Jean L Hays
The smell of freshly roasted coffee wafts out into the street.
Jess sets out the freshly baked pastries, homemade chocolates, packs of ground coffee and waits.
First as usual, ‘Ms Skinny Latte with an Extra Shot’ and ‘Mr Double Espresso with a Cinnamon Bun’, (they’re getting closer). Then later, ‘Mrs Cappuccino’ and ‘Mrs No Coffee for Me’ who eats almond Danish like they are going out of fashion.
After the morning rush, she realises that two regulars were missing – ‘Mr Macchiato’ and ‘Mrs Flat White’…
Jess smiles, it was only a matter of time.

And I can so imagine a barista naming her customers by their orders. Love it!

Lovely. Although i’m hoping the missing coffee customers are together and not down the road patronising the opposition.

….and I do imagine that baristas have their “code names” for folks! Reminds me of my daughter who is a long time pipe organist…..and when asked what she’s been asked to play for a wedding, often grits her teeth and says “Here she comes and there she goes.” The “naming” of the overused or the habitual! 🙂 Love your take on this! Reminds me that I should change up my order at our corner cafe! 🙂

I’m sure they do. My sister had a cafe a few years ago and she sometimes referred to her customers in that way. Thank you for reading, great to hear from you 🙂
