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.”

Just watched this scene unfold.

Barista: “Your name, ma’am?”
Customer: “Robin. Like the bird.”
Barista (smiling): “Got it.”

Cup is served. Spelling: “Robynne.”

Customer (picking up cup, muttering to self): “Fucking idiot.”

So now the question becomes, who is the worse human– the barista or the customer?

At least it’s Monday.

Yesterday they got my order completely wrong, so today I thought I’d be proactive. When the cashier asked for my order, I handed her my phone, which said this:

She smiled and wrote it down.

Then, this:
