All the fun of the inherent verbal assault that comes with being a Starbucks barista, but with a fun added twist of a large portion of your customer base being people who would never go to Starbucks (or never have been) when outside the confines of the Target walls. They don't know anything about the menu, or coffee in general, yet insist that you're making their drink incorrectly. They come in pissed off, willingly stand in line pissed off, order pissed off, drink the entirety of their drink pissed off, and leave pissed off. But not before they go over to the Guest Services area and demand a refund because they INSIST they were charged incorrectly. How, on God's green earth, could their Venti iced white mocha made with sweet cream, 4 pumps extra WM, 3 pumps caramel, 2 extra shots, "extra extra" caramel drizzle, and sweet cream cold foam cost 9+ dollars? The math just isn't making any sense! After being shown that they were, indeed, charged for exactly what they had ordered, they come up with a different bullshit reason as to why you should get in trouble, loudly declare that they're going to call corporate, and then proceed to storm off in a huffy blistering rage.

But the worst part is you'll know they'll be back again next week. They'll see the long line of people extending beyond the Starbucks lobby, with cups stretching the length of the back wall with orders waiting to be made, yet STILL choose to stand in that line...because honestly, how the fuck are they supposed to shop at Target without a Starbucks drink in their hand? (That they will later discard on a merchandise shelf when they're done with it).

I know all Starbucks get customers like this, but I feel like Target is the breeding ground for this kind of interaction. If they wanna call corporate for anything, they need to call and tell them to give us a second espresso machine for fuck's sake.
