If milk is rape, does that make this prostitution?
The question:

Is it fair/right for a customer to order what we, at my store, call a "ghetto-latte"?

The "ghetto-latte" is ordering any size Iced Americano, with no water and half ice (This lady's drink is an Iced Venti, no water, half ice, Americano). She then takes the drink and goes to the condiments bar and adds her own half and half.


Seems reasonably simple, right?

Not something you'd expect to cause, say, a three-month, several-hundred comment long flamewar which would eventually get heated enough that comments would be closed?

Apparently, none of us know Starbucks that well.

This? This is why I avoid Starbucks in favor of Caribou. I have a fairly good idea what a "Campfire mocha" is going to taste like, especially when they tell me right underneath that it's made with chocolate bits and marshmallows (omgnummy). All this triple grande vente poisson au lait crap makes my head spin.

Not that Caribou is any more reasonable in it's pricing, but damn. Marshmallows.

...Speaking of, BRB.

poisson au lait

Fish with milk? Now, there's an interesting drink.

I live around the corner from Caribou's corporate headquarters. If I were ever home, this would be disaster for my waistline:-).

That reminds me, I need to go to Caribou once or twice while I'm in Cleveland this week (especially since it's supposed to be all cold 'till I leave, now, which makes me one with the sadface).
