Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : Poetic justice at Starbucks

[Mike - Limestone]

I visited a new Starbucks yesterday morning, and the barista happened to be none too friendly. Halfway through the transaction, she also sneezed into her hands.

I looked at her hands. She looked at her hands. Then she continued working on my drink without washing her hands. Eww.

But soon justice arrived: my transaction was selected as 1 of 2 total customer transactions at the store that day where I was asked to complete a survey online in exchange for a free drink.

I gleefully completed the survey at starbucks.com. I feel better now.

See, now I dont get that. If she was attractive enough to swap spit with, then why wouldnt you drink the coffee made with spit on her hands? Is the spit somehow different on a molecular level due to the force at which it was removed from her mouth?

I already have a girlfriend so I have better things to worry about.

A sneeze is not composed of "spit".

I think I would have asked for another drink, she would have to be really very attributive to make me drink her sneezes

[Paul-UKWSD]

You didn't order your drink with a sneeze on top so why accept it? I certainly wouldn't.

She might have had Hayfever? It's hard to stop sneezing when you suffer from Hayfever, and it always happens at the time you don't want to sneeze. She still should have washed her hands though, as long as nothing went in the drink then I would of still took it.

It's the same as someone sneezing then touching a handrail, then a few minutes later you touch it but you didn't know - Then you touch your mouth for something. It's just one of them things in being a human.

I cant believe you let her get away with that and relegated yourself to filling out an online form. That's apalling behavior and should have been immediately reported to the store manager.

Hadn't thought of that.

Did she actually sneeze into the drink? I guess if she just sneezed, but away from the drink, its no biggie.

All I have to say is H1N1.
