The moment your routine is whispered to the next customer
A daily coffee run turns into an awkward encounter at the drive-thru.
The story

Our reading
The worker’s comment wasn’t a harsh judgment, just a casual observation—yet it was enough to make the customer feel self-conscious. It’s strange how a simple acknowledgment of routine can feel like a verdict.
People build habits, and the drive-thru is the perfect place for them. But when the window closes and the worker says, ‘She comes here every day,’ it’s like the universe is reminding you that your life is predictable. And not in a good way.
It’s not the worker’s fault. It’s just that the drive-thru isn’t the place for personal revelations. You don’t want to hear your routine turned into a side note in someone else’s day.
