#Overheardatwork: $12 Coffee Snob

Guy 1: so are you much of a coffee drinker?
Girl: no, not really, but everyone here goes for coffee so I might as well join.
Guy 2: I got twenty bucks says by the end of your first month here you'll be a coffee snob.
Girl: oh really? Why do you say that?
Guy 2: With as many coffee shops as there are downtown, its hard not to become a coffee snob.
Girl: I'm just fine with grabbing a 99¢ coffee from the gas station, just need it for the caffeine.
Guy 1: I'm sorry, what? No, you're a lawyer now. No more dark ages of coffee for you.
Guy 2: If when ordering your coffee, you don't say at least three words that you don't know the definition of, then you aren't getting good coffee.
Girl: seriously?
Guy 2: Last year I went in as a joke and just said a bunch of random coffee shop sounding words and a few random flavors, and ended up with the best coffee I had ever had. Saved the receipt so I could memorize it. Takes me almost an entire minute to say the full thing, and costs me $12, but it tastes so good.
Girl: Did you say $12?
Guy 1: Welcome to world of making an impression, if the client sees a 99¢ coffee, they think less of you.
Guy 2: Yeah, but if they see a name brand with whip cream and dusted cinnamon, they want to hire you immediately.
