"why don't they have two baristas on duty, every day, instead of just one?" said the lady joining the queue

 "yes, I agree with you, "why not another one on duty, at the same time?" this from the guy in the queue behind her, who'd just let her in, to be with her other half.

"I mean, one chap can't do the coffee, get out the cups and saucers, prep the food orders, etc...?  He was warming to his theme now; he could tell she was getting anxious!

"it's costs, that's what it is, plain old-fashioned cost cutting!   abandoning guilt, in favour of humour!

"hey, look, he's blushing; must've heard us grumbling!" this from the patient bloke.

"well, let's see what's now.  Look, he's grinning!"   things are getting better, she thought

"And smiling!"  even better still!.
  
 "That'll be £1.75 please?"   real imput from the duty Barista!

"I've only a £20.00 note and no change at all?" said she!

"Why, thank you; that will do just nicely.  We'll take all we get, every day!"

"Well, why don't you go and cook some, in your kitchen, and while you're about it, we'll have some too.   5 notes all around."

"Oooh I say, let's not be greedy!" said her companion, patiently waiting to be served

"No, better make that 6 notes each, just to be safe" said she, laughing.

"Oh me oh my, you're good, just too good" their friendly barista was now laughing, and grinning fit
 to bust. 

"You can come again, any day, you're mighty powerful medicine!!"


 "And that" said Daisy "was that, and it's still only coffee time; and he was having a late breakfast."

 "The rest of the day was still before them, whatever next!" she wondered.
