Hey friend,
There's something intriguing about the coffee queue. Everyone half-awake, nobody performing, that little pause where you decide what kind of morning this is going to be.
Ninety seconds, one small decision, a stranger waiting. It's barely a test. It works anyway.
Here's all sixteen of you.
● ENFP — befriended the barista, now knows about their band, forgot to actually order.
● INTJ — has one order, has had it for nine years, optimized it once, will not be workshopping it.
● INFJ — has wanted to try the lavender thing for three weeks, will order it the week they stop making it.
● ENTP — asked the barista what happens if you combine the two seasonal specials, and is now holding something nobody has ever ordered.
● INFP — wanted to try something new. Panicked. Ordered the same thing as always.
● ENTJ — large, black, to go, said before fully through the door.
● ENFJ — ordered for the whole group from memory, including the one guy's coconut-milk thing.
● INTP — reading the whole menu like a research paper, will order a black coffee.
● ESFP — got the drink with the most going on in it, plus a pastry, the photo is happening.
● ISFP — ordered the prettiest thing on the menu, no regrets, would do it again.
● ESTP — largest size, extra shot, already halfway out the door.
● ISTP — black coffee. no ceremony. why is this a whole thing for people.
● ESFJ — the barista is having a bad day. the ESFJ can tell. the ESFJ is now handling it.
● ISFJ — quietly swaps their drink with the one that came out wrong so nobody has to send it back.
● ESTJ — has opinions about the line's efficiency and is not hiding them.
● ISTJ — same order, same time, same seat, the staff start it when they see the car.
None of these is the good one, by the way. There's no correct way to stand in a queue at 8am (or is there?)
But you likely recognized yourself, and you definitely recognized someone you know. Maybe you should forward this email to them? ;-)
Enjoy your weekend,
