"Hi and welcome to Starbucks. My name is Taylor. Can I take your order?"
"Hi! The car in front of me isn't pulled up all the way, so wait a second!"
"That's a Venti Milky Way Latte with extra whip cream?"
"No. Please wait a second!"
"Okay. There's no need to shout, sir. Let me know when you're ready."
"…."
"…."
"Okay, I'm ready now."
"Yes, sir. Please go ahead with your order."
"I'll have a Venti Toffee Nut Latte with skim, no whip, and a Venti steamed Eggnog."
"That's a Venti Toffee Nut Latte with lowfat milk and no whip cream …"
"Yup."
"And a Venti Eggnog Latte?"
"Nope. I just want a Venti Steamed Eggnog."
"Latte?"
"No. Just eggnog, in a large cup, steamed."
"What do you want?"
"Cup. Eggnog. Steamed. That's it. No latte, no whip, no milk. Just a steamed Eggnog, all by itself, in a venti cup."
"Please wait a second."
"Chickenfucker."
"What?"
"I said, I'll wait."
"…"
"…"
"Sir, this is the manager. Taylor is having some trouble understanding your order. I have here that you want a Venti Milky Way Latte with extra whip, a Venti Toffee Nut Latte with lowfat milk and no whip, and a Venti Eggnog Latte, but somehow different?"
"First of all, there's no Milky Way Latte. Please remove that completely. Secondly, the Toffee Nut Latte is correct. Finally, all I want is just pure, 100% eggnog, steamed, in a venti cup."
"Okay, sir. Now, I'll have to charge you extra for that."
"You will? So eggnog is more expensive than eggnog and the other shit you put in it to make a latte?"
"I don't know."
"So why would you charge me extra? All I'm asking for is essentially that you heat up some eggnog in a cup. It's easier than what you have to do for a coffee. I'd think you should charge me less, but I'm willing to pay normal price for it."
"Okay, sir. No need to get snippy. I'm just trying to do my job here. Please pull around for your total and your order."
"Thanks a latte."
"What?"
"Chickenfucker."
