Today, I went into a small coffee shop. In line, a guy came up to me and was like, "I haven't seen you here before, are you new in town?" and I replied with, "Oh, no I've lived here for years. The coffee here is crap, though, so I only come here when Starbucks is full." He's the owner of the shop. FML

Today, a guy came into the small coffee shop I work at, and got angry because I wouldn't accept his Starbucks gift card as valid payment. When I told him we clearly aren't a Starbucks, he said "It's all the same shit" and ended up throwing a punch at me. FML

Today, I went to my favorite coffee shop, ordered my usual, smiled at the barista I have a crush on, and confidently said, "You too!" when they told me to enjoy my drink. I have to find a new coffee shop. FML

Today, I was at a coffee shop, trying to get to know the cute new barista. I wanted to compliment his nice eyes, but I got nervous and blurted out, "You have nice elbows!" He stared at me, confused, as I quickly grabbed my coffee and left. Now I can't even imagine going back there. FML

Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML

Today, I went to grab a coffee at a new café in town. While sipping my coffee, I noticed a man staring at me through the window. I thought he was browsing the menu before I looked up mid-sip to him staring at me in the eye, sucking on his finger. FML

Today, I'm a barista at Starbucks. When my crush walked in and asked how much his coffee would cost, I said a date. He said he'd rather pay for the coffee. FML

Today, I went to Starbucks to get coffee. The employees told me that there was no more coffee. I started cursing at them and told them that I am in a really big hurry, and that I need coffee every day. They had been yelling back the whole time. Little did I realize, they were saying April Fool's. FML

Today, I went to meet a potential client at Starbucks all the way across town about designing his website. I was extremely excited because I really need the work. I sat for an hour. Turns out he was across the street, at the other Starbucks. FML

Morning joe

By Christine.T - 27/08/2024 06:00 - United States - Boston

Today, I stopped at the coffee shop before work and confidently ordered "my usual." The barista looked confused but nodded. When my drink came, it was completely wrong. Turns out, I was in the wrong coffee shop. I was too embarrassed to correct them, so I drank a weird matcha-pumpkin spice sludge. FML

Today, I went with my dad to Starbucks. There is this really cute guy who works there and he kept looking over at me, so I went over to say hi. He ended up asking if my dad was single. FML

I totally agree with #43. And that was kind of douche[ish?] because you could have phrased it nicer like: Oh yeah I've lived here for a while, but I go to Starbucks a lot, they're coffee is very good to me. Or something along those lines. so YDI. And I agree with #45 =] and yeah I dont like Starbucks, its a little too overrated to me, and the coffee IS too weak for my taste. Too watery.

You do realize that Starbucks doesn't actually sell COFFEE... they do pre-mixed substitutes covered up with so much sugar you could be drinking toilet water for all you know, right? Since your tastes are OBVIOUSLY so through-the-roof, I'd tell you to stick with your 'standards' and keep your opinion to yourself. Real coffee is something not many people actually like, thanks to Starbucks.

"real coffee"? And why should op keep opinion to themselves? You my friend are the one who needs to keep yours to your self. Obviously you have no taste cause next to world market coffee Starbucks is good

I disagree with everyone that say YDI. First of all, you didn't know that this guy was the owner. Second, it was honest feedback for him that he can use to improve his product. If he got offended, then FHisL. Hopefully he asked what you didn't like about it or if you had any suggestions for improvement.

I must agree with #50 and others - Starbucks makes sub-par coffee. Oh, and anything that has whipped cream and chocolate or caramel in it is NOT coffee. Just thought I'd throw it out there

And? I told my favorite restaurant that their coffee sucks. The manager thanked me for my honest feedback. Every business should expect criticism.

Like #8 said, you deserved it. Starbucks is a corporate monster... the McDonalds of coffee. That said, they're coffee isn't great anyway. You are just shallow for not supporting your local coffee shops.
