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.

See, I don't understand this whole "add your own stuff" to coffee thing anyway. If you go to a place that is wankriffic enough to have a barista, and you like milk in your coffee, you go "can I have a flat white please" and they make it and hand it to you and drink it. You don't say "can I have a short black" and then carry it across to a table and put milk in it yourself. That's just stupid. Like a restaurant where they give you some chopped up vegetables and make you cook the meal yourself.
