You head to the clean coffee pots before asking “Well, do you want it regular or decaf?”

Stanley slams his fist down. “Decaf. I’m over 30 years old and any caffeine at this point would prevent me from sleeping and that would ruin my tomorrow.”

“I’m also aware of the dangers of caffeine,” you say, pulling out an orange lidded coffee pot. “I once saw an image of Mountain Dew and was wide awake for hours.”

You grab a new filter, pour in your special ground roast, and then follow it up with the water. As it begins to percolate the aroma fills the air. 

Stanley stares at you before smelling the aroma and looks at you. “Fine, you didn’t break any rules so I’m leaving now” he says before getting off the booth and walking out.

“What, no! I just made this fresh pot” you plead but it’s too late. While you won this round, you still wasted a pot of coffee.

THE END
