"Um...yes, I'll take the usual..."

Graphic-coffee-cup-thumb3380699 So I've waited my entire life for this day.
This morning, I got to work with my head still pounding from a marathon 40-page paper editing the previous day. Still talking in morning grunts, I went to make coffee upstairs and opened up the coffee container to fine only dust.
Empty.

"Eh."
So I walked on over to the locale coffee shop. The lady behind the counter smiled at me when I got there and gave me a nod. By the time, I got to the front, I decided to go out on a limb.
"I'll take the usual."
She nodded. "Small latte, 2 percent." And rang me up.

And here I thought it only worked in the movies. Come to think of it, is it a good thing that I'm at a coffee shop enough to have a usual?
