WHERE THE HELL IS THIS OTHER STARBUCKS?!

Grande London FOOL: Grande London Fog. Decaf.
147xxxx: We don't have a decaf version of the London Fog. Sorry - always comes caffeinated
GLF: uhm. I always get it decaf at the other starbucks.
147: ... Tazo doesn't make a decaffeinated version of the earl grey tea- which is used in a London Fog.
GLF: (ROLLS HIS EYES like he can't believe that I'm such a terrible barista who can't magically turn a caffeinated tea bad into a decaffeinated tea bag... I'M NO HOUDINI) fine. whatever.
147: So a grande London Fog Tea Latte?
GLF: Whatever. (and by the way, "whatever" is NOT a legit answer)

THIS IS NO WHERE CLOSE TO BEING A FOGGY...

Foggy Lady: Can I have a tazo.
147xxxx: uhm-
Foggy Lady: a tazo... LONDON FOG? The tall size. (She says london fog as if I should have known this. oh my god, I'm so stupid because I didn't know that "a tazo" meant a london fog tea latte aka I couldn't read her mind. "A tazo" could frllzz be a bigillion different things. Whatever, the drink is made and this foggy layday takes the lid off and interrupts another customer with her ridiculousness) ... THIS IS NOT TAZO.
147xxxx: uhm... It is the tazo brand. Actually, all of our tea is tazo.
Foggy Lady: No. No, it's not. (shows customer the TAZO tea bag we used for the drink) ... well... I ALWAYS GET THIS, and this is NOT right. THIS ISN'T RIGHT.
147xxxx: Okay... (looks at the drink and finds a london fog like she ordered) It seems like it was made correctly. What exactly isn't like how you usually get it?
Foggy Lady: IT'S NOT RIGHT - WHERE'S THE FOG?!
I suppose there wasn't enough foam or "fog" on it for her. I put a scoop of foam on it and tried to ask her if that was better when I gave it back to her, but she was already out the door before I could finish the sentence. Awesome.
It totally cracked me up how angry/serious she was when she asked where the fog was. My fellow barista and I laughed about this for the next hour. "Grande carmel macchiato, oh and no fog. you know, need to be safe to drive home" "venti vanilla soy EXTRA FOGGY latte and I'm talking extreme and severe fog alerts," "WHERE'S THE FOG?!" Hilarious
