"Would you like cream with that?"


Ok. Little things tend to piss me off. Mostly because my own personal ideals see things sometimes as completely unnecessary, or leaving lots of room for improvement. For this installment of what I'm calling "Um, is this even necessary?", I'm going to pick on something we all have experienced.

I'm sitting in a coffee shop right now and asked for a ceramic cup for my coffee while I sat and enjoyed some free Wi-Fi. I go to the cream counter and there they are...fucking teeny-weenie cream containers. You know...the kind for "to go" people I guess. Why in the world does a coffee shop have these and not the steel thermoses? Why? I can't see it being a price justification as a box of creamers might MAYBE cost less than buying 1/2 gallons or gallons of half & half or milk. Seriously, I just threw away 10 of the things. I experienced this also in a cafe in northern Michigan. I just don't understand it.

If anyone can think of why it's better to have the little creamers, please chime in on the comment section.
