This one actually happened the other day at my wife's store. (She's also of the green-aproned clan.)
Typical busy day, line to the door, this guy orders an iced venti americano. This is not a drink you can easily mess up. 4 shots espresso, water, ice. That's it. It's also kind of a strange drink to order, but some people like it. D is on bar. D is a nice, friendly, cheery worker, and she's made plenty of these drinks in her time. However, our SC in question.. (we'll call him Captain Retardo) disputed these facts apparently...
D - nice, cheery, barista
CR - Captain Retardo of the Eastern Highlands Retardo Clan
D - "iced venti americano, here you go sir"
CR - "This is not what I ordered"
D - "You ordered something else?
CR - "No, you said what I ordered, but this isn't it. This isn't what I want."
D - "You... ordered an iced venti americano?"
CR - "Yesss" (sarcastic "duhh" tone added)
D - "Well this is it sir, esperesso, water, and ice. Would you like me to add milk?"
CR - "Noo! I know what I ordered and this isn't it!"
D - "It's ok sir, let me know what it is you want and I'll make it for you."
CR - (exasperated) "Forget it, you don't know what you're doing. Never mind"
CR grabs his drink, walks toward the exit, then casually tosses it over the bar near the cash register... *SPLAT!* drink explodes all over cabinets and floor, fortunately not directly striking any exployees (at least CR had sense enough not to do that). CR casually walks out, invariably to try to ruin some other peoples' day.
