When you order a peppermint mocha while it’s busy, and the young barista accidentally splashes you with the peppermint syrup, make a big deal about it. Joke that he got you in the eye and pretend to wipe it off your arm.
Ten minutes later, when he realizes he forgot to make the rest of your drink, he will feel terrible and apologize profusely. Play into his guilt. Razz him that he’s showing you no love and ask what you did wrong. Remind him about the syrup incident and act confused and heartbroken. Make sure not to carry it too far, we don’t want to push the young guy over the edge. Laugh and ensure him that you’re fine and not in a hurry or anything.
An hour later when it’s slow and you’re still catching up on your blog, he’ll show up with a second beverage and a smile. He’s not Karl, but the next time you come, he’ll remember your drink and make a larger version of it for you. Awesome.
