The Starbucks Diaries

Bitch Barista
I'll be pointed with this blog.

There is a Starbucks that I frequent which is located in River Park. Now, to leave some shred of mystery, I won't specify which of the two River Park Starbucks it is. However, I will point out that the little lady I will be referring to is a Starbucks employee. She is close to my height, around five feet and ten inches. She typically wears her hair pulled back. It's a very pretty mix of brunette and blonde highlights. She's rather pretty and carries herself quite well.

The only drawback:

She patronized the wrong customer...

Me.

Normally I have no qualms about the employees at this Starbucks or with the customers, but today was different.

After noticing how freakishly clean the women's restroom was, I realized it was very, very cold in the little coffee shop. I'd been sitting, sipping my raspberry mocha Frap for about 2 hours and enduring the chill of the air. None of the normal crew was at work behind the counter so I felt quite awkward walking up to the counter and asking them to turn down the temperature. When this Bitch Barista came around to wipe the tables, I took my chances and asked her to turn down the temperature.

Her response made me want to slap her right out of the store.

She flashed a fake smile and walked away without a word. Then, mockingly, she told the guy behind the counter (who has been very cordial with me since he got to work) to turn down the air conditioning. She repeated my words exactly and then chuckled one of those "I'm better than the world chuckles."

Was it too much to ask for them to lower the temperature? I wasn't the only one complaining that it felt like a freezer! I was the only one that was willing to say anything though. Funny how Bitch Barista found it appropriate to mock me knowing full well I was still watching her.

This time I let it go, but you'd better believe I'll say something if she pulls the same attitude again. Customer first, right? Right. And I was nothing but nice when I voiced my wishes. I used pretty words and polite manner. Those that know me realize I am capable of that from time to time. I can be the perfect angel. Sometimes.

Anyways, I still love this little locale. I'll always come here when I need to do research online or catch up with old friends. Starbucks is my second home.

Oh and by the way...

The Best Sam Ever is the Best Barista Ever.

Period.

    Everyone should get one get out of jail free card in their lifetime. That neighbor's dog that just won't quit barking, or that barrista that just needs to be stabbed in the face. There will be a point when homicide is justifiable. You only get one, so use it well. Oh the life of regret when your officemate takes up Mime-ing and you've already wasted your single pass on that pompous fool that thought it funny to block your at the crosswalk.
