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.

Yeah.

Technically, the wank should have ended immediately when someone pointed out the "extra milk" button on the register.

But! If you're cheap/smart (depending how you look at it), there are combinations that can be made that would be cheaper than the actual drink. For instance, x number of espresso shots may be cheaper than an Americano, even though that is what you want, but you order x number of espresso shots topped off with water and bitch mightily when the register partner tries to charge you for what you're actually getting.

It's war, baby.
