I went to Starbucks today. It was during an off time, around 3pm so it wasn’t busy. A woman was in front of me ordering. After she ordered, the worker moved to go make her drink. After he made her drink, he started chatting with another barista behind the counter. They were laughing, gossiping. I was standing there waiting for someone to ask me for my order. I was waiting... waiting... waiting. Neither worker seemed to realize I was even there. Finally I cleared my throat loudly to get their attention. The guy comes over and was like “sorry, I thought you were just standing there.” I was like “what?” He said “I didn’t think you wanted to order. Thought you were just standing there looking around. What can I get you?” I was so perplexed by this. Why would I just be randomly standing in front of the counter. He took my order and then made my drink. He handed it to me and then went to go back talk with the other worker. I asked for a straw. They both fucking ignored me again. I asked again, louder. No one acknowledged me. So I reached around their dumb plexiglass barrier and took one myself. THEN he snapped at me, “don’t reach behind the counter!” I was like “well then pay attention to your customers. I asked twice for a straw and you ignored me.” Then I left, they both stared at me like I was the one with the problem. Was I in the wrong here? I was ignored from start to finish in there. It’s not like I’m a small hard to see person nor do I have a soft voice. I don’t get it.
