It’s particularly hard to find the Starbucks iced Via packets during the winter season (I like to chug them for an energy boost before my morning runs….don’t ask), so I went out of my way to venture into a different Starbucks today, hopeful that they might have some.

Me: “Hi! Do you guys have any iced Via packets in stock?”

Barista: “Ugh, no I’m sorry. We’re all out.”

Me: “Ok. Figured I’d try! The iced Via packs are very hard to find in the winter!”

Barista: “Oh oh oh WAIT– you want the ICED ones?!”

Me (excited): “Yes!!!”

Barista: “I didn’t realize you said iced.”

Me: “Oh, sorry, maybe I forgot to say it– yes, iced!”

Barista: “Yeah we definitely don’t have those.”
