hugh jackman likes decaf tall lattes and southwest chicken salads from starbucks. or, at least he did on one occassion.

how do i know this? because he walked into my unlikely little store on the southside of fort worth and ordered up.

not to get too corporate, but we're currently running a promo for a free tall beverage with the purchase of any sandwich or salad. i noticed him eyeing the salads and, being a good little salesman, blabbered on about our promo. i thought he looked familiar, but couldn't quite place him. i asked for his name to put on his cup ("hugh," said he with a nice accent), chatted him up like i would any other customer, and found out he was going to NY. he was very kind and thanked me for the free drink and was a generous tipper.

after he left, my coworker said "uhh, i think that was hugh jackman" and the lightbulb came on.

i was face to face with Wolverine. yeah, baby.
