Writewritewriting at Starbucks. My god, I would never be able to work here. I knew everyone's orders were absurd here, but this is RIDICULOUS.

"GRANDE NON-FAT NO-WHIP HALF-CAF WHITE CHOCOLATE LATTE"

I have two hours to finish this. My train leaves at 6 which means I need to start with Red Line stuff a little before 5. (Yes, still in Chicago.)

My orders are almost always at least that long.

How can you place an order like that and not feel kind of like a persnickety cockbag, though?

Who said anything about not feeling kind of like a persnickety cockbag? I almost always feel kind of like a persnickety cockbag, getting coffee or no.

I am really inordinately pleased with the fact that my brain provided the phrase "persnickety cockbag" for that.

I fully intend to start using "persnickety cockbag" in my day to day life.

Um, Tricia loves Chicago a lot.

What I really love is when someone spits out an order like that and then asks for whipped cream on top. Also, I love how everyone who orders like this seems to think that non-fat is important but doesn't worry about the huge quantity of sugar involved in the flavoring syrups. Labels say "non-fat" even on packs of Twizzlers now, as if they're marginally healthy. (Which they admittedly are compared to some things.)
