So, I go down to Starbucks, and I order a grande nonfat latte.

Then I walk over and watch as the barristo guy puts whipped cream on top of a grande hot drink. He says, what did you order? And I say, grande nonfat latte. He nods, and puts the drink that involves whipped cream on the counter, and then walks over to chat with someone. Then he looks at me and says, that's your drink. And I said, no it's not, I ordered a latte, and that has whipped cream. And he says, did you request no whip? And I say, what? There is no whip in a latte. That's not a latte thing. And then he scraped off the whipped cream, and I must have looked irritated, because he offered to remake it, but I was in a hurry so I said no, it's fine, really, I don't care, I need to go, thanks.

It's not like it was a fucking frappuchino.

That was the barista's stupidity, Starbucks spec does not call for whipped cream on a latte. But a little deductive reasoning on his part, if you're ordering NON FAT, why would you want whip? [read: fat] hello.
