How quaint that Frazz actually wants Caulfield to behave in a civil manner to the barista! Unfortunately, there have been two generations who have thought NOTHING of using profanities in front of their children AND in neglecting to teach them to use words such as 'please' so Frazz may have his work cut out for him! In any case, Caulfield DID prove that Frazz has his threshhold.
P.S. All that said, though, isn't Caulfield a little young for espressos since he's still a growing kid?
It's terrible that no one can pronounce espresso, Bailo. Recently, at a coffee shop, someone tried to order a Venti, but he forgot he was at Seattle's Best, not Starbucks. He should've ordered a plain "large"; and it had to be explained to him that a 'large' was a large.
frazz already did a strip on the incorrect pronunciation of espresso. and i work in a coffee shop and i have not yet met a single person who says it correctly. i try not to let it bother me even though it does! (also, by the book's cover, it seems he is reading When You Are Engulfed in Flames)
I was ready for a punchline about "expresso" not being a word. Pet peeve of mine but the drink is "espresso." Now even the kids serving it up at Starbucks say it wrong.
Jeez! I thought the word he wouldn't like was "eXpresso"! (eSpresso is the correct spelling, although expresso is probably going to become an acceptable spelling).
