Last Saturday, I had just grabbed my takeout order from Wild Wing. I noticed this Booster Juice close by, in the same plaza.
I had a brief debate. I just got bubble tea. Should I get my favourite drink of all time at Booster Juice?
Yes!
I walked over to this store with my takeout in tow. I could hear someone walking behind me. I veered off the path and took a photo of this store's front entrance.
A woman carrying a few bags with groceries from Longo's was behind me. I could see from the expression on her face that she was relying on me to open the door to Booster Juice. I deviated from her plan.
She was in front of me. She asked me if I could hold the door open. I did and mentioned that she had a lot going on.
I opened the door. She did not say thanks. It's my pet peeve.
I didn't have to open the door. I wanted to help you because your hands were full of bags of groceries. You could have been a decent human being by saying thanks. You didn't.
It was telling of her personality. I knew that she was more of the it's-all-about-me type. She put her groceries down by a table and immediately headed to the ordering area.
If I were in her shoes, I'd handle it differently. I'd say thanks going through the door. I'd put my bags down. I'd actually let the person who opened the door for me order, as a kind gesture for helping out.
Nope, I knew she wouldn't do anything like that. She went up to the front and spoke to the woman behind the counter.
"I want a good drink. Give me something good," she said to the woman.
The woman behind the counter deserves all the Yelp stars in this review for dealing with a pill of a woman. How about letting her know what fruit you like, rather than being so vague and lazy about your drink order. How about looking at the menu and picking out a drink like a normal customer would do?
Oh, that's right. You're not normal. You're in your entitled little bubble. My mistake.
The woman then went back and forth between her bags and the counter. She was retrieving money to pay for the drink. She then made a comment on how expensive it was to get a drink and walked over to the washroom to use it.
Ah, peace. I could finally place my order after dealing with all that ridiculousless. She'd definitely a piece of work.
The woman behind the counter was sweet. I ordered a regular orangesicle. It's my favourite drink at Booster Juice. It used to be an original, permanent item on the menu. It's now a seasonal offering.
When I see this drink on the menu, I get it as much as I can before I have to wait another year for it. It's like a Creamsicle, but in a frozen yogurt smoothie format.
I had my berry points QR code scanned. I then paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good.
I waited patiently for my drink. I took photos to kill some time, including a photo of my order from Wild Wing.
The woman came out of the washroom. Her drink was ready. I saw her grab it and head to her bags of glory.
My drink was ready. I thanked the woman and wished her a great day, went to grab a straw, inserted it in my drink, took a photo and a sip of my drink, and then walked out.
If this woman were more polished, I would have wished her a good day. Good deeds go unpunished.
My orangesicle was awesome. It had the best vanilla frozen yogurt mixed in with orange juice. The best!
I don't get why this drink was ever removed from the menu. It's so good. Why ruin a good thing?
I'm so glad that it's back for a limited time. Watch me get it multiple times before it disappears.
I like this store. I would return for more drinks and hope that I don't see ingrateful bag woman again.
