“Welcome to Starbucks. My name is Sam. Would you like to try an apple [something something]?”
I couldn’t understand what he said. “A what?” I asked.
“An apple chai [something].”
“No.”
“Are you sure?”
“Can you say it one more time? I didn’t get the last part.”
“Apple … chai … infusion.”
“I’ll have a venti iced latte.”
“OK. That’s almost as good.”
The poor guy really had his heart set on serving me an apple chai infusion . . .
