🗞️The WNTS Digest 📰

A young blonde woman brimming with excitement and determination is recently hired at a bustling office downtown. It's her first day on the job and she's eager to make a great impression. Her first task, a seemingly simple one, is to go out for coffee for the team. 

     Wanting to ensure she gets the right order, she grabs the largest thermos she can find in the office kitchen and heads out to a nearby coffee shop with a spring in her step. As she enters the coffee shop, she approaches the counter, her large thermos clutched tightly in her hands. 

     A friendly barista spots her and comes over with a welcoming smile. "Hi there. What can I get for you today?" the barista asks cheerfully. 

     The blonde holds up the thermos, her brow slightly furrowed with concern. "Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" she asks earnestly. 

     The barista, a bit taken aback, examines the thermos carefully, tilting his head to gauge its capacity. He hesitates for a few seconds, then finally nods. "Yeah, it looks like about six cups to me," he replies with a reassuring smile. 

     A wave of relief washes over the blonde. "Oh, good," she exclaims, her face lighting up. "I'd like two lattes, two black coffees, and two decafs, please."
