I know it's only 8:00 am, but this post already has a great chance of being the stupidest thing I read on the internet all day.

Complaining about one's incorrect coffee order doesn't mean one lacks perspective.

Definitely take a sip before you go. Whenever I've said that something was incorrect and asked them to fix or replace, at every Starbucks where it's ever happened, they do so nicely and often also hand me a voucher for a free drink on my next visit to any Starbucks as an apology for the mistake.

Yes, it's a first world problem. But it's not unreasonable to expect to get what you pay for. Be polite, but hand it back and ask them to remake it.

Yeah. It kinda does. The facts that OP is bummed over her "daily treat" AND posts about it shows lack of perspective. People with perspective get temporarily annoyed and then try to fix their "problem" instead of letting it bring them down. NP by the way, not theSyrial poster here.

OP probably cares about Syria too. You can care about both. I judge her more for her complete lack of ability to problem solve this issue herself and needing to crowdsource ideas for how to cope than I do that she cares at all about it.

You all are dumber than a sack of hammers.

I would say that about 1/3 of the time, maybe closer to 1/2 of the time, my order is slightly incorrect. I have been ordering iced coffees with milk, one splenda, and a sugar free syrup. Nothing crazy. Usually they forget to put in the milk.

This morning my coffee was filled to the top and I asked the barista if he could take it back to pour some out and put the milk in. He looked at my ticket and said "oh, sorry, I forgot to put the milk in." I said no problem, but he expected me to pour the coffee out in the trash can. This was kind of annoying because it got all over the place, which I knew would happen, and then coffee got onto my white pants.. which was exactly what I was trying to avoid. Ok, whatever, we ultimately got the milk in, NBD. Then I got to the car, took a sip, and there's clearly no syrup in the coffee. ARGH! I guess I'm just annoyed. I paid $4 something for my coffee and I would like it to be what I ordered! But at the same time, I felt like it would be overkill to go back inside. There's no question that he forgot the syrup, though.

So I drove away, but now I'm kind of sad because I really was looking forward to my coffee and I don't love the way it tastes without the syrup. I raelize that this is a complete first world problem, but it's my one "treat" of the day and I like to get what I've paid for. How do other people handle when the baristas mess up your order?

I'm sorry, but you can't complain. The bar for bitching has now been set at 6 family members. Unless you've lost 7 or more just STFU.

This isn't true. Walk into a Starbucks with a line to the door, breeze right up to the counter and pick up your coffee, walk out the door. No waiting to order or pay.

Hey, PP, please be sure you hop over to the TTC forum to post this message on each thread. All those people trying to start a family? Pipe down, people are dying in Syria. Also, in the Relationship forum, those posters who are going through a divorce, or whose spouses are cheating, have some perspective. And in Health and Medicine, the poster who just found out she has cancer - stop complaining and think about your life.

In case the sarcasm isn't obvious, you are an idiot.

Put your own splenda in the coffee.WTH! Same with a milk.
Who hires people like you? How the hell did they hire you?

Wait, PP, it sounds like you are putting Ops sugar problem on par with fertility issues? You're the one who sounds knockers now.

The fact is, the Op let this not a problem get her down AND couldn't figure out how to solve it. That's a perspective problem, truly.

That wooshing sound you hear? It's the sound of the point going over your head. Moron.
