From Not Always Right: It Sure Works For Me When I’m Grumpy!
This happened to a friend of mine at her new job as a receptionist for an accounting firm. [Friend]’s coworker is giving her instructions for [Client], who is coming in in the morning to drop off paperwork.
Coworker: “So, he’ll give you these [accounting documents] and [secondary accounting documents], and those need to go to [Boss]. And [Client] is upset about [tax law], which we can’t do s*** about because it’s the law, so be prepared for that, okay?”
Friend: “Get the papers, put them in [Boss’s] mailbox, and tell [Client] to drink some coffee. Got it.”
Coworker: “…You really don’t mind people getting mad at you, do you?”
Friend: “I worked the opening shift at [Popular Coffee Shop] for five years. ‘Drink your coffee and chill out’ is my solution to most grouches.”
