<title>Slog - Comments on Roundly Chastised</title>
<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/roundly_chastised</link>
<description>I&apos;m fascinated by this fight between a customer and a coffee shop owner. It started out as a long blog post complaining about a snooty coffee shop policy: I just ordered my usual summertime pick-me-up: a triple shot of espresso dumped over ice. And the guy at the counter looked me in the eye with a straight face and said “I’m sorry, we can’t serve iced espresso here. It’s against our policy.” The whole world turned brown and chunky for a second. Flecks of corn floated past my pupils, and it took me a second to blink it all away....</description>

<title>Comment by flamingbanjo</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Long ago, when I worked for a company that made all employees take special week-long customer service classes, they informed us that for every customer complaint you hear, there's ten more you don't because most people are too polite or too shy or too conflict-avoidant to say anything.  </p>

<p>I think this guy counts for two, three hundred easy.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Little Red Ryan Hood</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'd be pretty pissed too if I went to a coffee shop and was told I couldn't have my drink the way I want it because it wasn't the perfect way for the coffee.  Same if I went to a bar and was told I couldn't have the drink I wanted because it wasn't good enough.<br />
It's like the barista is saying 'you're too stupid to know what you like.'</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by LMSW</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>In the Czech republic of the 90's  there used to be a set of rules for drinking beer in a bar.<br />
The customers was supposed to leave a little beer in the bottom of the glass unless they wanted a refill. Additionally, pouring one beer into another was an ejectable offense. Mixing beer was considered disrespectful to the beer. They took their beer very seriously.<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>There's nothing fucking wrong with an ice cube in your wine if you want it. Your four dollar house wine is not fucking Romanee-Conti La Tache, and oftentimes a nice rose or white wine needs a little more chill than it comes with -- and in fact most restaurants serve their red wine too fucking warm. </p>]]></description>

<p>You're right about reds being too warm - "room temperature" probably meant 54 degrees back when they decided that was the temp reds should be served.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm not even reading the comments here. Only because I think that, automatically without knowing any other opinions, the people at this coffee shop and the owner are fucksticks who have no fucking clue what customer service is. You'll ruin the coffee!? Shut the fuck up you're taking his money you twats. Jesus Christ. </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by girlgerms</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>There's an even better blog entry from that blog:</p>

<blockquote>I was kind of stunned, but ran outside. A man sat on my curb, feet in the street, swaying and drinking from a tall can of Old English, with a box of more cans next to him. Someone shouted “OH SHIT, it’s coming back!” and pointed up the street. I looked, to see a <b><i>monstrous</i></b> pit bull galloping down the street, full-tilt. I remember thinking that it looked just like one of those things from “Ghostbusters” as it leapt, soaring through the air and shoulder-checking the man with the OE cans, sending him flat and the cans scattering.<br /><br />The dog then grabbed a can in its jaws and bit down hard, puncturing the can and shaking it like a baby — which sent streams of malt liquor shooting out of the holes around its fangs and straight down the monster’s throat. It spat the mostly-empty can out into the street, covered in drool and malt liquor and wagged its tail, happily burping.<br /><br />The man picked himself up and yelled “motherfucker, what did I JUST TELL YOU,” and grabbed the dog by its neck and belly, clean-and-jerked it and threw the thing like a soccer ball as far as he could. It hit the pavement and skidded, snarling and growling and ran straight for him, knocked him down again and grabbed another can.</blockquote>

Seriously, a punch in the dick? How do you even negotiate that, let alone specifically avoiding the area of searing pain just an inch or two below.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by ex barista</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>i bet what the barista really meant was:<br />
"hey, its not okay to be a cheap asshole. if you want an iced latte, order one, instead of getting espresso over ice, and then going to the condiment bar and filling it with the milk we provide as a condiment."</p>

<p>when i worked for The Big S as a barista, we used to hate it when cheap mo-fos would do this. its one of the fastest ways to irritate your barista, and apparently your coffee shop manager too.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by mackro mackro</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I can see being miffed as a barista over cheap customers at first, but that's just life working in retail.</p>

<p>NOTE TO EASILY AGITATED COFFEE SHOP OWNERS:<br />
If it's that easy to make an iced latte, then maybe don't charge as much for an iced latte!  Or if enough people pay the normal price for an iced latte, how's the occasional cheapo going to sink your business?  Are all the previous people going to sit there for 15 minutes making condiment iced lattes too?  It seems most people just want a drink in 5 seconds and need to get back to work or home -- and then there'll be one guy who has nothing better to do that day than to make an iced latte as cheap as possible.  Why try to prevent the inevitable?<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>I worked at *$ back in the day (only had 100 stores when I was there) and used to have people order a latte and then open and dump the entire contents of our chocolate shaker on the condiment bar into their drink, scattering chocolate powder everywhere. We would have welcomed someone just topping off their iced espresso with milk!</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>ex barista, you think it was about the cheapness? THe guy said it was about the integrity of the coffee or whatever. So he was lying? If so, why couldn't he just be honest, and cut out the "Hey man," crap and say "sorry, sir, but we're not supposed to let customers use a lot of milk without charging them the iced latte price. I know, I know..." </p>]]></description>
