Until recently, I worked at a small tea room downtown. It was a bit of a dive, and the tea was some generic brand that was not clearly marked. The boxes for the green tea, white tea, mint tea, orange pekoe, etc., looked nearly identical, and I had to squint to read the tiny labels. So I came up with a system. Each morning, I'd take any new tea boxes, squint at the tiny labels, and put a big green dot for the green tea, two green dots for the mint tea, etc. I thought it was a pretty good system. When I found better employment, I agreed to train my replacement. I told him, "don't forget to cross your eyes and dot your teas!"
