horchata hustlers

It’s my birthday today!

We celebrated with Cafe Rio burritos, window shopping for RVs, and an incredible ice cream cake from Coldstone. Simple, sweet, and delicious. It was exactly what I wanted.

But it got even better. Cafe Rio endowed this little exchange on me while I was about to pay for my burritos:

9yo: Hey, do you guys do birthday specials?

Cashier: No, but we can take $5 off a meal!

9yo: Oh. Well, how much is a large Horchata?

Cashier: $3

9yo: Nice. Can you take $5 off of that?

Cashier: …sure

9yo: [takes a cup and zooms off]

Me: Wow, that little man knows how to hustle!

Cashier: Seriously, like what even just happened lol

Me:

Cashier:

Me: So, funny timing, but today is actually my birth-

Cashier: Just take the cup.

Nothing like a free cup of horchata to welcome another year!
