Welcome

The stories posted on this blog are all true and were heard while making coffee in a bookstore cafe, exactly like the title states. English teachers around the world are rejoicing. To further explain why I am writing this requires a bit of history about me.

I graduated college with a degree in Anthropology which led me to observe people in the natural environment and question their behavior. As a result I am always listening and observing the people around me. Working as a barista has provided a great opportunity to exercise these skills and, needless to say, servers and baristas are invisible to the customer for most of the transaction allowing even more conversations to be overheard.

I don't know how often I will post stories. They will be true and there will be reoccurring characters so keep up and visit frequently.
