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.

"And for those of you employees who proudly wear all the little piercings, dye the hair 15 shades of puke purple, men wearing the makeup, so and and on, one you are not Gothic and do not comhprehend Gothic. It is not wearing leather belts and having 25 holes in one earlobe. It is not sporting the same tattoos that 500000 in your state have, not writing the same pathetic attempts at poetry, not listening to the same music that your mother is listening to. Face facts, goth is about individuality, getting the same piercings, tatts, listening to the same exact music is not unique it is conforming. In reality you are all wearing little uniforms of conformity and are embarrassments to the real sense of Goth. Its not about what you wear, what you do, its about who you are."

Obviously, hemlockboy is saying here is that jobbing at Starbucks isn't TRUE bartending in the dark. That might well be true, but I wish I could hear the story behind his realization.

15 shades of puke purple

Someone's been eating too many grape popsicles.

He's right, you know. What he's described is not Goth...it's a compilation of indie rock, emo, and punk.

And that kind of obliviousness? Is why the over 30 Goth crowd amuses the hell out of me.

I must be from bizarro world, because my mind doesn't jump automatically to "Goth" when people have tattoos, multi-ear peircings or stretched ears and man!makeup. I just figure they like rock music (and are usually pretty hot IMO).

But then, I am from the L.A. area- EVERYBODY looks like that among us young folk!

not listening to the same music that your mother is listening to

Unles you are the offspring of those old farts who were at the Batcave slamdancing at Alien Sex Fiend in 1982, of course. Then you are permitted to listen to your mom's Specimen bootlegs.

*sporfle*

Does that mean I'm going to have to hide my Christian Death 45's from my kids?



Assuming I have some, one day.

My daughter heard her father listening to Bigod 20 one day, and decided that she really really likes "The Bog". She was around six or seven at the time, I think. It was briefly her favorite song. She also wanted to save up her allowance to buy a Yaz CD.

She makes me so proud. *wipes away single tear*

My mom's very proud to state that she spent her entire pregnancy with me listening to Joy Division, the Cure and Bauhaus, does that count?

Real goths only make coffee in vampire infested mansions, in the fog, while liestening to Christian Death. Right?

The words "shut up emo kid" spring irresistibly to mind, don't they?

Why, according to his reasoning a True Goth could be a soccer mom. A chartered accountant. George W Bush.
