Starbucks Customers

I was in line at Starbucks the other day when I heard a man order "a venti hot chocolate, one pump less chocolate, 140 degrees, with whipped cream. Also, 1 croissant with 2 jellies." I've never heard an order so specific in my life. I'm all for knowing what you want and not being afraid to ask for it, but gee whiz!

First of all, he loses all credibility with that "one pump less chocolate" request. Everyone knows, if you're gonna go through the hassle of altering the order, you ask for more not less. "Less is more" doesn't always apply to every case; when it comes to chocolate, more is more.

Now as for that 140 degrees business, I'm 100% positive that if anyone in the world could detect if the drink were 139 degrees, it would be this guy. And please know that he'd be giving them hell if they made it "too cold", demanding to see the thermometer on his next order.

Really, if you ever witness me behaving like this, just shoot me right then and there. Life just isn't worth living when you're that wound up.
