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.

In our defense, I've had several customers come in, order a grande coffee and then throw an absolute bitch fit all because they wanted a grande latte instead of coffee.

customer: I want a medium coffee.
me: Okay! *rings them up then makes it*
customer: ..... THIS IS NOT WHAT I ORDERED. HOW DARE YOU YOU *insert frothing rant here*
me: ... you ordered a coffee. You got a coffee.
customer: I ordered the one made with frothy milk! With the coffee that comes in the shot glasses! And I don't want the froth!
Me: .. so you wanted a latte then. Alright, I'll call the manager over here and we can sort this out.
customer: NO, I said I wanted the coffee, NOT a latte.
me: ...... *thinking wtf* *calls a manager anyways*

Yes, we get some batshit customers in my store. Though I haven't determined if some of those people are truly batshit, or if they're just trying to get lattes for the price of coffees.

Don't get me started on the crazy old lady that wears chicken (god I hope it's chicken) bones as jewelry. And no, it's not that that make her crazy. I could take the bones-as-jewelry. It's when she orders something and then denies the fact that she ordered it despite the receipt being right in front of her. *twitchy*

Wow, that makes absolutely no sense to me. And reminds me of my stupid friend who ordered a "cafe" in Paris and was annoyed that what he got was one shot of espresso in a tiny cup.

I tried to disavow all knowledge of him but we were on one of those school trips when you all have to wear the same T-shirt >__
