This whole situation is completely shocking. A barista goading an overly anal customer to the point of outburst? An English professor getting upset about diction and treating a lowly customer service employee like a wayward grad student? Petulance in a retail setting?
I don't use Starbuck's nomenclature, nor do I use the nomenclature of any other eating establishment. When I go to taco bell, I don't order no damn "burrito", I say "Give me one of those chicken, bean in a tortilla-ey thingies." When I go to Olive Garden, I don't order no hoity toity "spaghetti with meatballs," I say "Give me a plate of stringy processed wheat mixed with some reduced tomato paste. And put some balled-up, baked, seasoned ground meat on top too, bitch." And if any of their employees dare correct me, I throw a hissy fit and don't leave until I've been tazed at least three times.
