Starbucks experiance

HI!
Stares towards the menu and utters an inaudible response "he..."
How are yo-"I would like a...Venti, half soy half breeve, no foam ,NO whip, 3 and 4/5ths pumps of sugar free vanilla, with only 1 shot of espresso, EXTRA hot to 180.... wait make that 2 and 5/8th pumps of sugar free vanilla instead, white chocolate mocha. AND a Grande latte with 6/4th of a pump of hazelnut, make that a venti and ohh can u make the first order with lactate instead and yeah...5/4th of hazelnut, 6/9th of a pump of sugar free vanilla and yeah make the hazelnut sugar free too and I don’t want ANY foam wait never mind I like it extra DRY, and make sure that its only 125 degrees I like it ready to drink, oh and extra shot of espresso please with No foam I hate foam and yeah make sure the first drink is foam less as well, Latté"
Panic...so you wanted a...looking for any familiar buttons on the till...yes... so you want a, can you please repeat that.
Annoyance glazes over facial expression and starts repeating everything to the Barista at the bar.
Eventually find the right buttons and find a brave smile
Tosses money over the counter while counting as if they are doing ME a favor.
Defensively lose my smile
Give them their correct change
Protests that I have made a mistake because of a claim that money that didn’t exist was given over to me
The customer is always right and I have to fill my till out of the tips bin because I don’t want to be blamed for coming up short.
Hi! Can I help the next person.....?
Already angry for having to wait in line so long.
