Do you want Coffee with your sugar?

The following is true. Names and places may have (or may not have) been changed to protect the guilty.

I ordered a Caramel Latte at Dunkin Donuts. This is my one vice. I don't drink, smoke, or swear. However, all resistance crumbles at the mention of a Caramel Latte. Occasionally I pony up the $2.50 or so and spoil myself and my wife with a Caramel Latte. I have seen it made so many times that I can tell the Dunkin Donuts server how to make it by now.

Today, after taking my order, Islam squirted the prescribed 3 jets of syrup into the paper cup. My body began to get excited in anticipation of the sugar rush. Strong coffee with 3 squirts of syrupy sugary sweetness is pure heaven. Then, unlike all other Dunkin Donuts servers Islam shocked my. No other Dunkin Donuts server has ever asked me this question. I have been asked if I want skim milk or whole milk. (Why bother trying to watch your weight if you are drinking this concoction I wonder?)

Islam asked "Do you want sugar, sir? ". I was speechless. I said "No thank you". I wondered how he could even get more sugar in the cup, and expect to get the coffee in as well. Sweet coffee is a treat for me. Adding sugar to syrupy Latte's would spoil the entire experience.

Do you try to cram too much information on your slides? We want images on our slides to convey messages. However, do you leave place for the message, or are your slides a case of "Do you slides on those graphics?"
