Starbucks "Customer Service" = Calling the Cops

English Professor refuses to use proper Starbucks corporate-speak while ordering. Starbucks employee refuses to respond to standard english. Starbucks manager calls the cops. Cops escort the customer from the premises.

As UT recently noted, if Starbucks wants to hear about what you want, they will TELL YOU what you want.

So we are offering a great deal: as much free blue as you want. Our designers have chosen a shade that we feel you'll agree is calming and interesting. You can have the full double rainbow if you want, but believe us, blue is really cool."
