Then they order their coffees (A Venti vanilla latte with extra caramel and whipped cream, steamed to 180 degrees, with whole milk and extra whipped cream and caramel in a short cup on the side or a Venti upside down, caramel macchiato, steamed with half and half to 108 degrees, extra caramel lining the cup, then caramel on top of the drink, then extra whipped cream, then even more caramel on the top of that, and cinnamon on top of that
Then they discuss their latest Instagram / Snapchat / Grinder whatever social media hook-ups that weekend
Then they discuss the latest sports results
Then their coffees arrive and they spend the next half hour complaining about the temperature, density of froth and depth of flavour of the beans.
Then the raise the latest issues with their performance cars and how the marque isn’t living up to expectations
Then the older / wiser ones, as an aside, complain about the increase in next terms school fees and how Matilda and Rupert will just have to expect less on their next overseas school holidays.
Then someone mentions the meeting agenda.
Item one (quickly worked through) is reviewing success with last round of SP predictions
Item two is reviewing current predictions. Conversation goes something like “lets knock a buck off ($14.60)” “no – that’s too obvious – punters wont think we have done much analysis to come up with a round number” “Right. Best we don’t make it more than a buck or punters will think we were pretty useless first time around” “Right, lets knock $0.90 off” “Done. It has a nice ring to it.”
Meeting adjourns for lunch.
