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.

How about us baristas-from-elsewhere complaining about those damn kids on our lawn how Starbucks is mucking up the industry?

There was once a guy whose girlfriend was a Starbucks fiend, but he had worked at a real coffee shop. He quizzed me on what a caramel macchiatto was, and I answered both in Starbucks definition and actual coffee-shop definition.

You know what's weird? You guys get Starbucks fiends coming in and complaining it isn't like Starbucks, we get Dunkin' Donuts/generic coffee chain/tiny coffee house regulars who cannot understand we are not their other store. We should switch customers.
