The new guy at Starbucks
Me: I'll have a grande black iced tea, unsweetened.
Him: Okay, I have a grande black iced tea, unsweetened.
<time passes as he makes my drink, then hands it to me>
Him: Here's your grande black iced tea, sweetened.
<In my defense, I thought he had just misspoken. Hah. So I put the straw in the drink and took a sip. Then I gagged.>
Me: I'm so sorry, I asked for an unsweetened black iced tea.
Him: Oh! I'm terribly sorry.
<dumps the offending beverage out, makes a new one>
Him: Here's your iced green tea.
Me: *sigh* Thank you.
<I hate green tea, but I didn't have the heart to ask him to make it again. Plus, I figured there was a better than even chance that he'd hand me a grande caramel macchiato instead of a black iced tea.>
