Does this make me look fat? 



I was at Starbucks this morning to get a morning jolt, while waiting for my coffee, this skinny lady behind me started ordering. She asked some question about some mint, or iced or some weird drink, and the barista was confused. He said "Oh do you mean the Mint Nonfat Latte?" She scoffs "No - wha? Do I look like I need it?"

My face immediately went to a cold grimace - what arrogance . I can imagine that could say it jokingly, but this woman was in no joking mood - her tone indicated that was almost subtly insulted.

Then I thought - what if the barista was a cold, woman-judging bastard? I suppose then that should be an excellent retort, but I believe the barista was caught off-guard with the questioning to be quick enough to veil an insult in a response like that. In fact, kudos to fast-reacting insulting barista. You made me a great triple shot latte and you insulted the bitch. Kudos indeed.

Comments:
If that coffee boy (barista? screw that) said "Yes, you do look like a you need non-fat latte, or actually, why not just go for just chai tea instead?" then I would have left some tip for the dude. (I normally don't leave a tip at a coffee place. Yes, I'm an asshole)
