Customer: Can I have a venti soy café au lait?
147xxxx: awh, I'm sorry we ran out of soy just an hour ag-
Customer: Ran out of it? How the fuck did that happen?
147xxxx: (thinking he's joking) ah, well its a really cold day, so more people are coming in for a hot beverage to warm them up! :))))))
Customer: That's horseshit. Sorry, but who the fuck is your manager? That's a manager issue.
147xxxx: (whaaa???) well... sorry, we run out of somethings sometimes...
Customer: Listen, I use to own a coffee shop, and that never happened... okay... I'll have nonfat instead.
147xxxx: alright... (SUPER AWKWARD) ... so you use to have a coffee shop and now you're in a starbucks? :)
Customer: ha REAL CUTE. (ugh, forget it, dude. I'm trying to be nice and make things not uncomfortable while you're staring at me making your drink) I use to own a coffee show and we did like 3 thousand dollars a day (wow. SO impressed) We were on the west coast. On a Friday night, we were packed, unlike here. We were at like the time square of LA. We had a line out the door and down the block every night.
(If you're going to be an condescending asshole, I don't fucking care about anything you're talking about - even if its a successful coffee shop. I'm sorry that we ran out of something. Sir, you are a rude rude man. You spoke to me in a way that no one should; you have terrible manners. AND three thousand isn't that amazing - we do that daily in cash alone, and my store is no where near as populated as times square. SO SUCK IT, YOU IMPOLITE MAN.)

147xxxx: Yeah, of course! It's going to be $1.90
Jacquelyn: Okay - oh and bold, please!
147xxxx: Actually, sorry, we stopped brewing our bold coffee at 5. Is Pike okay?
Heidi: no. NO. Not at all. UGH. I'll have a vanilla latte. tall.
147xxxx: Okay, sorry about that. it's going to be $priceofVL.
Heidi: ... I thought it was going to be $1.90.
147xxxx: That was the price of a tall coffee. You wanted a tall vanilla latte instead of the tall coffee?
Heidi: But you didn't have what I wanted... so... It SHOULD BE 1.90.

customer: a large no-foam cappuccino147xxxx: a no-foam cappuccino or a no-foam latte?
customer: uumm... (to girlfriend sitting down at a table) IS IT A LATTE?
customer's whiney girlfriend: NO. CAP.
147xxxx: (to both of them) k, well a cappuccino is espresso with a mixture of 1/2 milk and 1/2 foam. A Latte is espresso, milk, and a little bit of foam. soooo...the foam in the cappuccino is the majority of the drink.
CWG: (after boyfriend looks at her) UGH I ALWAYS GET A NO-FOAM CAPPUCCINO
147xxxx: alright... just the expresso shots and steamed milk?
CW: UGH YES. LARGE NO-FOAM CAPPUCCINO

Customer: So what is it actually called?
147xxxx: you would just order a grande chai latte
Customer: NO, no, not a latte. a tazo chai.
147xxxx: Oh, you wanted a chai tea - like with tea bags?
