ONE OF THOSE DAYS ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!


Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to turn out quite right? If this morning was any indication, the crew at 7th and Montana seemed to be having one today. The fun began at around 7:30 when an Attractive Brunette threw a polite hissyfit. "I specifically asked for lowfat milk," she said, "This is nonfat. If I wanted nonfat, I would have asked for nonfat. When I order lowfat, I expect to get lowfat ..." She went on and on, not that she needed to. Any Starbucks will replace your drink for free if it isn't right. Barista Nada made her a new drink, this time with lowfat milk, and called out the next order. An Attractive Blond Regular (pictured above) picked it up, looked at it suspiciously and said, "This isn't right. I asked for nonfat milk and you gave me lowfat. Can you make it, again?" Maybe they should just start giving everyone decaff ...!

Clearly these two women need to start ordering regular whole milk lattes; they could use some padding around their picky personalities.

I think it was in the book Starbucked that I read that the chain uses more milk than it does coffee.
I'll take a black coffee, please. No calories and no waiting for the barista to try to please The Picky People. Those SB employees deserve a lot of credit for their patience. -Cin

Well put, Cin and others. I "specifically" stopped opening doors for females- but only at Starbucks. This is because if I employ my typical practice at this chain, that in turn puta them in front of me in the line to get my black coffee (which i need to drive far) -so I'd i have to sit and wait for a super-dupr non-granday-mocha half-caf de-caf sprinkly sprizzy wet upside-down BS drink to be ordered and made. Plus, a high (almost 90%) chance of chit chat- which is fine, as long as there isnt a guy late for work behind you who wants NOTHING but the coffee poured in a cup.
