[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you at the Chevy Chase Starbucks on Connecticut?  I've seen people there be CRAZY, and the food orders take FOREVER.

Here's my Starbucks story - a few years ago, I was at Tyson's during the holiday season, god help me, and I stopped at Starbucks.  The line was LONG.  I ordered, and then joined the even larger group of people waiting for their orders.   I paid attention and watched - I knew who was in front of me in line and who was behind me and I didn't have my phone or something so for whatever reason, I was paying attention.

The barista started handing out orders of people who were in front of my order.  I noticed they were handing them out pretty much in order.  The barista called out my order, and someone who had VERY recently ordered said, oh that's me, and went ot get it.  I mean I had been waiting for more than 5 minutes and someone who had just ordered no more than 1 minute ago tried to claim it.  I stepped forward, said, no, it's mine, I've been waiting and I grabbed it and turned to walk out.  She tried to bluster that I was rude, but I said, just before this they handed out the person right in front of me, and the person right in front of them.  This is mine.  Orders take a long time!  And I left.  I think I appeared rude, but I know I was right.  but to this day I wish I had turned the cup and said, oh yeah?  Is your name LARLA?  But I was too tired of being in line and just wanted out of there.  [/quote]

This was the Starbucks in Kentlands (Gaithersburg). It can get super crowded, but that day it really wasn't.

In your case, you clearly knew it was yours. She was walking out with a bag with my name on it. [/quote]
