Stating words in the clearest manner

_source

The last couple of weeks out in public my mission is stating what I need in the clearest manner, otherwise, ordering or dealing with the public as a consumer takes too long. There are times you get someone taking your order that does not have their mind into it. Repeating yourself over and over becomes a mantra. I sometimes feel like saying, “Snap out of it.” But I don’t and I even tip them.

Making cappuccinos at home opens quite the savings of money and time.

So I decide to figure out stating my order for coffee with in the clearest manner while out in public.

Here's an example of non-clarity with a solution

While handing over a 20-dollar bill and saying keep the change. The barista thinks I am tipping them through the “to go” window close to 15 dollars. I have to tell them no and how much I want back.

This is the first exercise in clarity while ordering I solved. Now I say, “Keep the coins.” No questions ever, it is the solution.

Lots of people get extra shots of espresso in their coffees. Me I want one less so I say 2 shots only. While the barista always asks, "Add 2 shots?" It happens every time and I respond with a resounding no leading me to do the whole order again.
Now I respond in the clearest manner, “minus 1 shot”, and it works perfectly every time.

Taking this study up a notch and into marriage I began to think how I could get my husband to understand me with the most clarity using a jussive tone doesn't always work.

The answer in his case is I have to get him to listen by first getting his attention.

One of the ways to get his attention no matter what he is doing is to use a random word in a sentence that refers to sex or body parts. I will leave it at that. You can use your imagination but not too much. It doesn’t require too much.☺

This will be an ongoing study ; unfortunately many times people are just too distracted with their devices and thoughts.

Why perfect it?

The fruition of this work will be a much easier life.
