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.

As someone who hates anything that bubbles, I hate trying to order a beverage in Europe.

No, I want flat water. WATER. Out of the bloody tap. God damnit.

hah! My brother can now say "uncarbonated water" in a half dozen languages. I didn't realize it was necessary vocabulary.

*pets you* I feel your pain and LOATHE bubbly stuff. But if you say 'Stilles Wasser', you'll probably get a bottle of uncarbonated mineral water. If you say 'Lietungs Wasster', then you get tap water.

...Well, in Germany or Austria, anyway. *lived in Austria*
