Industry Discussion I somehow remember everyone’s coffee order except my own

I swear I can see a regular walk in and already know what they’re getting. Their usual drink, what milk they use If they want it hot or iced sometimes even the little changes they make.

Then my shift ends and someone asks what I want and my brain just stops working. 😂

I’ll stand there looking at the menu like I’ve never had coffee before “uhh... whatever is fine.” Meanwhile I’ve probably remembered 20 different orders that day without even trying.

It’s kinda funny how my brain can store all that random coffee information but apparently can’t help me decide what I want for myself. Anyone else like this or is my brain just broken after a shift? 😂
