So that will be one medium latte with skimmed milk
and one gluten-free oatmeal and raisin cookie?

Excuse me? I'll take care of that...
I promise I never do this but uhm...
Do you... Do you come here often?
and I've never seen you before...
Aah, that makes sense...
well, I'm happy to show you around if you want?
Show you the neighbourhood...
I guess what i'm trying...
