I had a dream that the CEO from my last shop got into a new diet that she couldn’t have coffee. So to avoid cravings she got rid of the coffee machine and didn’t even allow people to bring in their own cups. I wanted to riot, people were mad but they sheepishly accepted. So I kept bringing my own coffee, and I made extra strong so everyone could smell. I was waiting to get fired but I wasn’t . The funny thing is that this is not even too far fetched and I can totally see it happening.
