More angry people at Starbucks! What? I know! How could anyone be ANGRY at a STARBUCKS??

Customer #1: Orders a grande, no water, NO FOAM chai latte, and then sends it back TWICE for not being foamy enough. The barista kindly explains that 1) Customer #1 ordered the drink with NO FOAM so it shouldn’t be foamy at all, and 2) even IF she wanted more foam, by virtue of it being a chai latte, it doesn’t foam up the way milk does. Customer #1 is now crimson and kind of vibrating on the spot, and spits, “I order this every day, and it’s been fine every. other. day.” The barista shoots her a look that’s all, “Honey, what you want isn’t technically possible, so unless your usual Starbucks is in like, Narnia, and Aslan HIMSELF is making this chai latte with his particular brand of magic, IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.” Customer #1 grabs her mediocre foam chai latte and leaves, swearing under her breath.

Customer #2: Orders a grande iced dark roast. For anyone who isn’t familiar with this drink, it involves pouring HOT COFFEE over ICE. After preparing the drink, the barista hands it to the customer who looks at the cup, then at the barista, blinks, and asks: “Where’s the ice?” The barista looks at Customer #2, then at me, then back at Customer #2. Customer #2 catches the exchange, gets all defensive for not fully grasping basic principles of thermodynamics, and stalks off.

Maybe these people may want to stay away from stimulants, because this much anger amplified by the effects of caffeine can’t be good.
