    Hey, how about this: leave service workers alone you sick fucks. The baristas, wait staff, cooks, chefs, bussers, janitors and everyone else at work is just trying to do their jobs. Be polite, don’t pull stupid fucking stunts, buy your stupid coffee and fuck off.

    Also, quit gargling fascist balls.

      The only people who will interact with them are service employees with no choice.

    Aren’t coffee shops already known for screwing up people’s names, especially intentionally? Just say “okay” and put in “Karla Churk” or some shit.

        Starbucks coffee isn’t coffee, it’s sweetened sugar with extra sugar.

        Sincerely: a coffee addict.

          This is why I get a lollipop in a cup when I go twice a year.

          If I’m getting candy in a cup by fuck I’m getting the best candy in a cup I can.

          Milk and sugar delivery system.

          Which I can do myself for a fraction of the cost, whole milk and brown sugar and coffee. If I want anyway I drink coffee black. And tea, almost always.

    That’s bleak, but do they realise the coffee cup already has a hole and a habbit to spill in the least comfortable moment? I already did a crude kirky spray cap meme, and that’s very close to it.

    What a boring future we live in. The working class being distracted by petty disputes like these, mourning fucking podcasters, when the need to organize against the capitalist class is greater than ever.
