So, a construction worker in Starbucks just called me “princess.”
He was in line ahead of me and ordered a hot coffee, but for some reason they made my iced coffee first and put it on the counter. He said to the barista, “Is this mine?”
“I don’t know,” the barista replied, helpfully.
“I wanted it hot, but that’s okay, I’m easy, I’ll take it cold, too,” he said, picking it up.
“Sorry, I think that’s mine, actually,” I said. Even though I had the caffeine withdrawal shakes, I didn’t want to be mysteriously injured in a “construction accident,” so I made sure to be meek about it.
“Oh, this is yours? I didn’t think it was mine,” he said, handing it to me. “You have a good day now, princess.”
Um. What? Should I be offended or turned on? Maybe a little of both? Is that why Gloria Steinem always glows?
