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.

Haha. Try being in Vancouver. That joke in Shrek 2 where all the Far Far Away people run out of one Starbucks right into another across the street? That's what Vancouver looks like. And only three freakin' Tim Hortons, it's mind boggling!

I am appeased, now, though, because Starbucks finally got on it and started carrying black tea lattes

Would you believe that I actually live in a good-sized city (>100,000 residents...for up here, that's good sized, dammit) that doesn't have a Starbucks?

Wait, a few minutes on the Starbucks website tells me that there may be one hidden somewhere in the airport. My mistake.

We've got over 20 Dunkin Donutses, tho.

Let me guess: you live in northern New England?

That'd be my bet. I do, and I don't even know where my nearest Starbucks is.

I live in the last Starbucks-less neighborhood in Seattle, as far as I can tell. (Most of my neighbors can't afford it.)

Hee - I was talking to one person who works in a good sized office building that literally has a Starbucks on each of its four corners.
