I feel a little bad for all the store closings only for the employees, who, in general, are very nice.

I prefer, “What can I get to jump start your bowels today?”

Around here at SBUX and elsewhere I get a lot of “What are you having?”

I don’t know why, but I don’t like that phrasing. It feels rude.

I would prefer, “What’s your pleasure?” or (in my ongoing tribute to the ’90s) “What’s your flava? Baby, what’s your flava?”
