Saturday morning people are different breed

I'm definitely not a morning person, which is why I needed to stop at Starbucks before my 9 a.m. assignment yesterday.

Behind me was a chipper man too chipper for his own good.

"Good morning, I love you!" he told the barista.

"I love you? I've never heard that before."

"I'll have six shots of espresso with half and half foam and lots of love. So, shot, love, shot, love, shot, love, shot, love, shot, love, shot, love and foam. ... How do you do the love?"

"I just smile while I pour it."
