This bitch is directed to a certain coffee bar that happens to exclusively serve gluten-free goodies and ran out of medium-sized cups on Wednesday.
I ordered a medium coffee and, since you had run out of medium cups, you gave me the option of another size. You rang it in as a medium, as you should have – after all, you didn’t have the cup size I had ordered – then you remembered you had given me a larger cup, voided the medium, and charged me the extra ten cents or so for a bigger coffee!
My week has been full of frivolous, trivial issues and it was the last thing I cared to fight about…but it stuck with me enough that the next time I forget my coffee at home, I will go to one of the dozens of other places downtown. I’m sure you’ll notice the severe impact to your bottom line if that dime was so important to you. —Black Coffee, Black Mood

Ten cents?
Ten cents!
This Bitch is about 10 CENTS?!
Captain says it best.
To put it another way: THAT’S TEN FUCKING PENNIES!
If this type of incident makes you crazy, I’d hate to see you face a real crisis.
It’s the principle of the whole thing, Captain.
Sure it’s a measley dime but multiply this same scenario by 40 or 50 coffees and it quickly adds up to 4 or 5 dol….
Ten cents?
Ten cents!
This Bitch is about 10 CENTS?!
It only would add up if the OP continued not to open his/her piehole. Baristas aren’t fucking mindreaders.
Barista – what a title – pretty fancy way of sayin: ‘counter person for an overpriced java shack’.
OP, you were given the option to take another size which would simply imply–you order large=you pay for large; you order small=you pay for small. That was your option given. Take it or leave it! This is not Rocket Science. Businesses do run out. I’d say that running out of cups is a good sign that they don’t really need your order after all.
Yeah? 10 cents warrants a bitch?
How about wanting to murder the lanky motherfucking asshole who broke a window to get into my car…. the very window I had replaced on my car last summer when they broke in the last time.
Do it again, you pathetic shit-stain… I promise I will catch you…
and I won’t be taking the info to the police.
You will be… begging them to lock you up to get away from me.
Do you realize it costs me $150 every time you want to check my car for valuables?
Why the fuck, when I have a perfectly good apartment building in which I’m sleeping, would I leave anything of value out there?
People fucking suck.
i’d suggest leaving your car unlocked but they’d probably poop on the seats, sorry zedman
Pay for your coffee in loose pennies next time.
i will continue to use pennies until i have no more
black coffee, black mood= no life.
I don’t think this was a bitch about 10 cents, as much as it was the principle of the matter. It’s crummy customer service. Once, the debit was down at a buck of stars and i only had debit and they gave me my latte for free (totally unexpected). Then the power had just come on another time and the debit was slow to boot up and they gave me a sweet of my choice and my latte for free.
THAT is good customer service, and is why I have no problem patronizing that chain.
10 cents is peanuts to a company when it means losing a customer.
Also: *hugs* to zed 🙁
I hope somebody shoots me the day I get upset about 10 cents.
Wow! That really blows, zed.
Sorry to hear man.
Maybe you could try this anti- theft device next time?

Going over these bitches I just realized that this title said “petty” and not “pretty”. The power of the positive mind I guess.
Immolating the fucker without getting to watch would be a waste of good entertainment…
though I’m still not against it. I was thinking of electrocution. It’d be nice to see them twitch and cringe in their final moments.
enough already with the “next time” horseshit.
