A few weeks ago, I discovered the most delicious drink at Starbucks: an iced matcha latte with heavy cream and no ice. A venti is easily over 2000 calories and it tastes exactly like melted green tea ice cream, which I love. I’ve had melted ice cream in the past, but it’s hard to do discretely at home with roommates. This is so much easier and has way more calories.
To try to be discrete, I do a mobile order and just pick up my drink with little to no interaction with the baristas. However, today the barista asked me if I was actually going to drink it. I was super embarrassed and made up a quick lie about it being for some prank video.
Now im at a crossroads. I’ve never been able to drink as much heavy cream as easily (due to both taste and convenience). But I’m afraid of getting called out by a barista again.
What should I do ?
You strike me as a very nice person. With that said, you aren't obligated to tell the barista anything except for your order.
Alternatives are:
- Go elsewhere
- Make it at home
- Go to a different location
- Own it
- Continue to lie
Do what makes you most comfortable. And remember that most service workers do not care about what you do or why you do it. They may not remember you either.
