Took me 45 minutes to order at that new cafe downtown

I stood at the counter of Brew & Gather last Tuesday reading every single drink on the menu twice. There were like 40 options with all these fancy syrups and milk alternatives. By the time I finally picked a simple black coffee, the barista had already helped three people behind me.

The last time I went to that place I counted 47 different syrup options on the wall before I even got to the actual drinks menu! I ended up just blurting out "medium drip coffee" because my brain completely shut down from all the choices. My friend laughed at me because I stood there like a statue for a full ten minutes just staring at the blackboard. The barista actually asked if I needed to sit down for a minute which was pretty embarrassing honestly. I completely get why you went with black coffee, sometimes you just need a reset button after all that decision overload!

Tried a simple black coffee" is exactly what I'd do after all that stress!

Why would you pick black coffee when you've been through all that stress though? A little cream or sugar wouldn't hurt and might actually help you relax a bit (especially after everything you've been dealing with). Straight black just seems like more of the same hard mode you've already been living in.
