I hat them snotty nosed baristas and the wait; wait, wait for black coffee that is so friggin overpriced.

You chose Starbucks because you aren’t qualified for much else

I mean, digging fence post hole pays better.

I actually had a pleasant experience, meaning “down to earth” barista, last year. I was early for a train to San Diego, so I walked across the street to Starbucks, and asked for a large, black coffee. “You want a venti drip Americano?” he replied. “I don’t know the terms, just a large black coffee, please”, was my answer. He looked around, nervously, and then in a low voice, he said “I understand, sir, but if I don’t speak in ‘Starbucks’, I get in trouble”. I tipped the kid a buck for a $3.00 cup ;)

And it should, because it's harder work.
