Latte

What I lost: Starbucks grande skinny latte

When: about 4:05

Location: Starbucks in Little Tokyo

Last seen: I never saw it, actually. I ordered a latte for myself and my coworker back at the office. After mine was put on the bar, I immediately left Starbucks because I completely forgot about the other one until I was reminded back at the factory.

Losses: $3.45, some dignity in the office

How I can prevent this loss in the future: grab a cardboard 4-drink container, or keep something in my hand (list, receipt, etc) to remember that there's more than one order. I'm actually surprised now that this is the first time this has happened.

Nutella

What I lost: Single serving of Nutella

When: about 11:35

Location: Kachi Café on Wilshire

Last seen: After the guy handed it to me at the cash register and I tried to tuck it away in my purse but clearly failed. I got distracted by the cost of the Nutella itself and at that point it might have fallen on the floor. That's nice.

Losses: something around a dollar, but most importantly, my plain wheat toast remains plain wheat toast

How I can prevent this loss in the future: 100% confirm something is safely in my purse before I carry on, which I've already talked about before on this blog of perennial sorrow
