Karma

Karma's a bitch.
Don't be mean to your barista or else the twenty you think you brought with you will magically turn into a one when you try to pay for your two medium "not too much milk" with two splendas on the bottom cappuccinos.
The barista will be nice and let you come back later.

Learn your lesson.

Please?*
Barista: Yes/Sure/Ok?etc...
(Barista makes cappuccino)
Barista: That will be (insert dollar amount here)
Customer: Ok. (Gives money, barista gives change.) Thank you.
Barista: Thank you, have a good day.
Customer: You too/Thanks.

Barista: Hello.
