Interesting how that works

This morning I made my usual stop into Dunkin Donuts for my coffee; yes, only a coffee.  The drive through was exceptionally longer than usual and I decided I would take a walk inside to order my coffee.  Now I don't like to do this only because then you are forced to take in the smells of the freshly made round delights.   So I had to hurry to fight the urge to order something more than just my morning coffee!

As I am placing my order for the coffee a man decided he can walk directly to the counter and stand beside me and grab the clerks attention by saying, "Hey, I forgot to order my coffee with my donut".   I look over to him with a look of wonder while the clerk apologizes to HIM and proceeds to get his coffee order and quickly get on his way.  I have to say something... " I think you just cut in front of me on line."  The man looks at me with bewilderment and states, " I was here but forgot to order my coffee".  

I didn't even know what to say to him without becoming angry so the words... "Interesting how that works" came out.   So I guess the lesson is, as long as you were previously in line for something and you made a purchase you can return and avoid the wait as long as it is within a reasonable amount of time!

"Interesting how that works..."
