People who steal drinks

Today I got my Boost Juice stolen but its not the first time. I also got my Gloria Jeans ice chocolate stolen last year. It happens when I pay for my drink at Boost Juice/Gloria Jeans/Starbucks/any pay-and-then-wait place and then go shopping for 5 minutes because they take awhile to make.

When I come back, I ask, "Where's my ____?" and they look surprised and say they already gave it to somebody. But in both situations, they made me the largest size drink to compensate for my drink getting stolen. I ordered a kids size All Berry Bang today but got a large instead!

If you think about it, its pretty easy to steal my drink because when they call out, "MEL!!!" (to collect the drink), a guy or a girl can pretend to be a Mel and steal my drink. It's just that i hate waiting (as those who know me know) so would rather do something productive like shop to pass the time. That's why they should have receipts with numbers so only the person with the receipt can get the drink and not have to stand watching young teenage Boost Juice employees jump around.

  • why don't you just wait? they don't usually take that long do they? i dunno cos i hardly ever buy boost juice anywayz but...

    altho now that your getting larger drinks than you paid for, you may as well just keep going! :)

  • I'll tell you what, if you did that while I was bartendering - I'd tell you to shove it!

    Nah, kidding. Wouldn't it be nice if you had psychic abilities and could tell when your drink would be ready so as to come back 30 seconds before they call your name?

    Or if you had a little "stand in" mel. Who could wait in lines for you while you did more fun stuff like shopping or perving on boys.
