Barista to the left of the employee at the register (while I was at the register):"Do you know what you want"
Me: Err...Umm...Yes. (Not sure which person to look at) I'll have a tall cinnamon dolce latte.
(Handed the cashier my cash and walked to the pick up counter)
Barista: (rolling eyes) "Well, you didn't say that."
Me: "Um, sorry. Could you make it a decaf? Sorry."
Barista: (rolls eyes again)
I took that opportunity to walk slowly over to my seated friend.
Me: "Sheesh, she was kind of annoyed at that."
Friend: "Ya, she looks kind of mad."
Barista: "Kelli, I have a DECAF Tall Cinnamon Dolce Latte!"
Me: Thanks.
Barista: "I already made the regular one, do you want that too?"
Me: "No thanks, I really can't have it."
Barista: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Sorry, No. I can't have it."
Barista: "Well, do you know someone who does?"
(Barista looks at friend ACROSS the room) "Do YOU want this?"
Barista: (Rolling eyes, again...and announces to the entire coffee house in a very booming voice)
"I HAVE A FREE TALL CINNAMON DOLCE LATTE...DOES ANYONE WANT IT...?"
I took that moment to slide back over to my friend across the room....How obnoxious was SHE?
P.S. - Being an ex-barista, myself. I know that if there is ever a miss-order. You sample the drink out in those tiny cups at the register....not single out a customer with the sole purpose of embarrassing them....

well, i am very proud of you for not losing it. i am mad at that barista (sp??) for you and might not have handled it as gracefully - so Good Job Kelli!!
What a punk. She could have had it and kept her mean trap shut. That may be worth a letter of complaint. Pretty tacky and rude.
