Slight Suck Slight Ownage

[Miss Fatale]

I was hanging out at Starbuck's about an hour before close the other night.

The two baristas (and seemingly only employees) were rather young, I'd guess 16-18. They were cheerful and busy starting the "clean up" process. As people came in, they gave speedy service.

A woman came in, got her order, than asked, "Where's the sugar?" (Or something, I didn't quite hear it.) One of the baristas replied, "Right over there with on the condiments' bar."

The woman muttered loudly under her breath, "God, they're always moving things around here."

The barista said, without sarcasm, "I'm sorry ma'am, what did you say? Do you need something else?"

The woman said, "Nothing, nothing" and that was that.

I was happy to see the lady's passive aggression called out.

[Pixilated]

That barista deserves a raise for that alone.

indeed, especially since it wasn't as if they were being lazy or rude... they were cheerful and prompt it sounds.

makes me wonder if the almost-sc had some issues to try to take out on someone?

Good for the barista.

The SC was probably just used to the Starbucks a block away. Starbucks are like mushrooms, they pop up everywhere, often near each other, but each one is just slightly different.
