why we should all go home a little early on Fridays

Actual conversation overheard yesterday at the Starbucks "booth" at work between hospital-employed barista who wanted nothing more than to go home as it was 4:57 p.m. on a Friday, and idling, indecisive customer:

(Barista): "Yes ma'am. What can I get for you?"

(Customer): "Hmmm. I don't know. Hmmm. I can never make up my mind on coffee..."

"Can I suggest anything for you, maybe?"

"Hmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm."

(several seconds of exasperated silence)

"Ma'am?"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

(several more seconds of silence and impatient looks)

"Would you like a few more minutes to decide, ma'am?"

"No. Hmmmmmmm." (reads sign on counter) "Toffee Nut Latte... hmmm. What's that like?"

"Well, ma'am, it's like a latte... that's flavored with toffee nut."

"Really. Wow."
