As a Starbucks barista I have issue with not only the stuffy prof, but with the barista.

Starbucks policy is basically "Just say yes," meaning, whatever the customer wants, we'll do it for them. If she just wanted a plain bagel, then she should have been given the standard, which is with cream cheese. The barista should not have egged the customer on.

English professor aside, why be such a nasty human being?! Life doesn't revolve around you, so suck it up like the rest of humanity and compromise. It's a few words in exchange for coffee and a bite to eat.

To clarify, "venti" does mean twenty in some languages; a "venti" sized drink is 20oz. (Iced Venti drinks are 24oz, so rather than saying "ventiquattro," it is kept "venti")

And as much as I love working for Starbucks, I'd say go to a different coffee shop if you've had repeated problems with the jargon!

the night would have been so much better with a sounders win!

awesome story nonetheless!

Perhaps it is "...and shot himself in the head."

Great read though!
