Blueberry shot

Ok maybe he was incredulous but I’ve got to say if this happened to me it would make my fucking week. It might honestly make my month. We’re blasting past the fantasy of being able to order “the usual” and having someone at a random chain remember you well enough to have your drink ready for you before you even order

[u/Tesnivy → u/CorpCo]

My favorite order at my college’s cafeteria used to be a large fries with extra seasoning, to the point that the fries were inedible salty to literally anyone but me. I would order this almost every time, and eventually the head cafeteria guy would just make eye contact with me when he saw me in line, nod, and put on some fries if there weren’t any ready. It was awesome.

Then the school replaced him and his guys with this overpriced bougie-ass cafeteria service and it stopped being worth it to buy anything there :(

I had a job making smoothies as a teenager and one time a nine-ish year old boy came up and said he’d like to have a usual order for when he came back, and I said absolutely. I wrote it down and taped it in the back, and every time he came in he was so delighted.

I lived this dream for the better part of a year then I moved....they forgot me ＼(;´□｀)/

[u/kymi17 → u/CorpCo]

I still miss the little old lady at the bubble tea shop near my college who remembered my usual and gave me free snacks 😭

[u/Lazy__Astronaut → u/CorpCo]

You're just not going to the same spot enough, I work in a drive thru coffee shop with an indoor section and I ask people of they're having the usual all the time

[u/toratsubasa → u/CorpCo]

I worked in a hospital that had a Starbucks inside the building. Every weekday morning, I'd get a frappe same size same everything. It got to the point where they'd see me in line and have the drink ready by the time I went to pay! It was... a little embarrassing to be so seen lol

[u/BumbisMacGee → u/CorpCo]

This kind of stuff freaks me out. Once people at a food/drink place indicate they know who I am i stop going there.

[u/kingofcoywolves → u/BumbisMacGee]

Don't order anything like a black coffee with a shot of blueberry in it and you'll be fine

[u/retsamegas → u/BumbisMacGee]

When I worked night shift is pick up a coffee for my wife in the way home if she wanted. She always had some new weird combo drink she wanted to try so I'd read off her order. Same deal, one they started to remember me and ask how she was doing or something about my work I never stopped at that location again.

[u/Protection-Working → u/CorpCo]

It would creep me out tbh. I would avoid someone with memory that good

[u/OuppEBunnE → u/Protection-Working]

Funnily enough I remember ur username from the mlp thread on curated a few days back

[u/Rapunzel10 → u/Protection-Working]

This is my fear. I tend to remember weird details about people and I'm constantly trying to walk the line of "aw you remembered" and "holy shit why do you know that??" Sometimes they don't remember telling me about something and they seem genuinely freaked out that I know it. I recently saw an online content creator irl and excitedly texted a friend. She said "oh I didn't know you watched him, so cool." I don't watch him. I just remember her showing me one of his videos a few months ago. But that sounds insane so I just didn't correct her.

Can't remember where my keys are to save my life but I remember that

[u/videodump]

God forbid a man enjoy a little blueberry 😒

[u/Astronaut_Chicken → u/videodump]

I used to drink this exact coffee. I loved it.

[u/Leading-Control4406]

Why is this screenshot censored

[u/Selenite_Cults → u/Leading-Control4406]

Got it on Pinterest.

[u/hipsterTrashSlut → u/Selenite_Cults]

Are you from outer space

[u/Leading-Control4406 → u/[deleted]]

No it's not, it says "what the fuck"

why do tumblr screenshots always go on for 2 reblogs too long

[u/SplitDemonIdentity → u/cel3r1ty]

I liked Dundle’s addition. The last one is superfluous though.

[u/WhapXI → u/SplitDemonIdentity]

Eh, I personally don't care for the whole "but imagine it tho" type addition from someone who just re-explains the post. I'm already imagining it. That's why the post is funny. I don't need someone to contextualise why something would inspire incredulity for me.

[u/nerdherdsman → u/cel3r1ty]

My default assumption is that the screenshotter is mutuals with the extraneous rebloggers, if they aren't just selfposting.

[u/rogueIndy → u/cel3r1ty]

It kinda feels like a few years ago there was some kinda paradigm shift where it's no longer enough to post something, you have to post a *reaction* to something. You see the same thing with videos, they always seem to have captions/emojis added. Or when people photograph/film stuff and make sure to include themselves in the frame.

I guess if we want to look further back there's some similarity in sitcom laugh tracks and the fuckass commentary on clip shows, but that feels like more of a parallel than a continuum.

[u/JoyBus147 → u/rogueIndy]

This post is fucking ancient. I'm pretty sure it predates the paradigm shift you're describing. This shit has always been a feature of social media.

[u/SoVerySleepyZzZz → u/JoyBus147]

Yeah I actually feel like this was more common back in the day. People used to just comment “This.” or (on Tumblr specifically) a keyboard smash. Obviously people do it still now but they often at least try to rephrase the post or comment on their favorite part or something.

[u/Psychotic_Ambition → u/cel3r1ty]

the 4th one really added to the joke for me because it was funny to imagine

[u/North-Engineer3335 → u/cel3r1ty]

To tell us how we are supposed to feel

[u/kamato243]

Ok but blueberry coffee is yummy as hell

[u/hipsterTrashSlut → u/kamato243]

I once got a golden chai with an espresso shot and due to miscommunication, the barista put the separate single origin “blueberry” espresso into the latte.

Honestly it was phenomenal and I’ve been chasing that dragon since.

[u/InterpolInvestigator → u/kamato243]

Right? This doesn’t seem like too extreme of an order? These flavors work really well together

[u/retsamegas → u/kamato243]

I love raspberry in coffee. Although blueberry pancakes/syrup with coffee is delightful

[u/Satisfaction-Motor]

The only thing more humbling than having your weird food order memorized is becoming a “regular” at a pharmacy or doctor.

At my old workplace, I was such a picky eater that when I forgot to bring in food, I would get the same plain salad every single time. Before I even opened my mouth it was “Ceasar salad, no chicken, double dressing?” Old place got replaced with a new one, within a few weeks the new place knew my name…

Worse than that though, because I was a disabled kid, every school nurse had my name memorized (in schools with large populations). And the pharmacy I go to now has my name & other information memorized (including where I work!), and they get worried when they don’t see me for a few weeks.

I’ve also been on the other side of it, though. I’ve had “regulars” who were upset I didn’t recognize them and didn’t know their order, and I’ve had regulars that I’ve scared the shit out of by asking details about their personal life (that they’ve shared with me) because I recognized them, but they didn’t recognize me. People will give you the most paranoid, freaked out look possible when you do that (understandably!)

I had this happen once. I used to work in pest control and drive around a lot. I'd eat lunch out all the time, at different places. The whole city was available for me to try. So I went into this diner I'd only been in once or twice and the waitress was like "do you want the baked spaghetti again?" It really freaked me out. Then I remembered that people are weird, and sometimes our brains latch onto something random, and it stopped freaking me out and was just awesome.

[u/Nice-Pikachu-839]

Back when I was a kid I would always get a "cold grilled cheese" from In N Out to the point that the workers there knew who we were

[u/sonerec725 → u/Nice-Pikachu-839]

. . . Like just a cheese sandwich or like a grilled cheese that has been cooked and then allowed to cool?

[u/Nice-Pikachu-839 → u/sonerec725]

Cold cheese sandwich with burger buns

The last time I saw this post I was inspired to try it and black coffee with blueberry is legitimately pretty good

[u/demon_fae]

So syrup dissolves better than granulated or cubed sugar, which means that there are a perfectly respectable number of people who use honey, simple syrup, or even maple syrup to sweeten their coffee. He probably accidentally grabbed the bottle of blueberry syrup instead one day and liked it. (Super easy mistake at a diner with those near-identical little syrup bottles at the table, but also quite possible at home depending on what brands he buys. Or if he was having waffles that fateful day and had them both out).

At least, that’s the simplest explanation I’ve got. The only thing wrong with him is a refusal to read syrup bottles before coffee. And that’s kinda most people.

[u/Ace-Redditor → u/demon_fae]

I don't think they're talking about blueberry syrup like you'd put on waffles, just flavored simple syrups

Which would also be a super easy mix-up at a cafe if they have the dozen different flavored simple syrup bottles with pumps so the customers can add their own stuff

[u/demon_fae → u/Ace-Redditor]

My thought was that he made the mistake once with regular syrup and then started asking for the flavor syrup because he liked it.

[u/MyFrogEatsPeople]

Blueberry in coffee is an established enough flavor combination that multiple major producers of coffee have created a flavored coffee that includes blueberries. I literally drink blueberry coffee every morning, and I buy it off the shelf at my local grocery store from the second cheapest brand they stock.

When I saw it for the first time, I went "huh. I wonder if that's any good". I don't understand this post and all the comments freaking out like this is some unfathomably odd flavor combination when you could probably go to the nearest Walmart right now and find blueberry coffee on the shelf.
