A crabby old lady ordered a sumptuous coffee at the coffee shop. The waiter tried to provide her with excellent service, but every time he brought her a coffee, she complained.

First she thought that the coffee was too cold when it was hot. Then she said that the coffee was tasteless, when it was delicious and scrumptious. Then she complained that one of his black hairs was in her cup, but the hair was actually blonde like her own. He remained patient and continued to try to help her until the end of the snacks, when she left him a quarter for a tip. The waiter replied on her way out, “Thank you for the generous tip, Madam."
