This is such a great reminder of the subtle ways anxiety can creep into everyday interactions, even in something as simple as ordering a drink.

It’s easy to forget that behind the most basic requests, people are often battling internal insecurities.

As someone who struggles with decision-making under pressure, I can definitely relate to the feeling of just defaulting to the 'safe' option to avoid overthinking it.

It really highlights the value of hospitality that goes beyond just serving drinks, making people feel at ease can have such a lasting impact.

BTW, I'm sure many of us have a "Long Island Ice Tea" story lurking in our closet of skeletons.... I know I do...lol.

Thanks for sharing!
