"Hello, we are Those People Who Want Seasonal Items at All Times of the Year."

I'm the man who stopped by in June and had a summer-themed smoothie, a refreshing cool drink complete with a little umbrella in it to round out the sunny motif. Now it is the first days of November - the temperature has dropped into the 50s, people are breaking out their flannel shirts and heavy coats, and the local stores are already pushing Christmas merchandise toward the front of their seasonal displays. However, I yearn for another hint of summer, and stop by the coffee shop for my warm weather beverage.

I study the menu, noting that the space where the smoothies were advertised has been replaced by an advert for hot chocolate and apple cider. Undaunted, I still place my order for a summer drink as if it's only natural. The barista informs me that the item is no longer on the menu, so, upset and strangely surprised, I protest that surely they still have the ingredients. The barista gingerly tells me that the smoothies were phased out at the beginning of October and they simply cannot make me one. Angry now, I continue to protest, insisting that surely, surely they can still make summer drinks.

Finally they firmly insist that the summer drinks are gone. They offer a seasonal alternative, something more fitting for the cold weather. Insulted, I turn around and leave in a huff. It'd be nice to find a place with some stability!

It's very nice to meet you.
