[quote=Anonymous]I've gotten food poisoning from an airport Starbucks, had another drink I had to throw out on the plane because the milk was rancid, and had this weird exchange last week at an airport where there was no sugar out, so I asked the woman for sugar.  She said "What kind of sugar?"  And I said "Regular sugar.  Not the fake stuff, real sugar, any kind."  So she hands me three packs of Splenda.  I say "No, that's not sugar, that's splenda.  Can I get sugar?"  And she says "What kind of sugar?"  So I say "Real sugar.  Not sugar substitute"  She looks at me blankly so I say "The white or the brown packet, not the pink, yellow or blue packets."  So she gives me regular sugar, but looks REALLY put out about it.  I guess I should have just said "the white packet" to start with.  But how can you work at Starbucks and not know the difference between sugar and sugar substitute?  That seems very basic for a coffee place.  I know Starbucks prides itself on its extensive training program for employees -- are the airports a separate hiring system?  
I just never have these issues at regular Starbucks -- only in airports.  Wondering if it's just me.[/quote]
