Now, we all know that Newton is uptight.
But who knew that uptightness extended to people's choice of caffeinated beverage?
I stopped in Breuggar's this morning on my way to work for an iced coffee. While I was at the condiment station fiddling with sugar packets a woman (in a hat, no less, and you know I don't trust people in hats) said to me with narrowed eyes "It's really not iced coffee season" and then snooted off to her car (a Volvo, I assume).
I was just standing there like "Are you kidding?". If she is appalled at the fact that I was drinking iced coffee in April, what must she think of the fact that I was wearing zebra printed sandals at the time?
She probably went straight home to rub a Talbots catalouge for comfort. Maybe even ordered another navy blue blazer with gold buttons for good measure.

I worked in Newton for a while and it is so true!! I would get the hairy eyeball from people at Starbucks if I didn't order latte in the right verbal order. I had another patron actually hand me the booklet outlining the proper procedure recomending I study up before my next visit!! Lets just hope her breakfast at Tiffany's hat gets blown into traffic next time :)

BEST
COMEBACK
EVER.
Tsk! You iced coffee drinking hussy. I bet you wear white shoes after Labor Day, too!
Okay, Sarah. Now, I'm not trying to be cocky, but I... ahem... consider myself a bit of an authority on such matters.
I am, after all, a Starbucks barista.
(please, no applause)
Sarah, iced coffee season is nigh. It is here. In fact, I have been drinking my nonfat iced mocha since MARCH.
The ratio of iced/non-iced beverages is like, 75/25. It's iced drink, iced tea, frappucino season, baby.
That lady is a stupid hag.
She's the one that comes back and says that she is sure that I only added one and a half packets of splenda when SHE CLEARLY specified that she wanted one and one quarter.
There is a special spot in hell for people like me, I guess.
haha thanks lindsay! i knew i could count on your expert opinion in this matter.
No the rudest person is the on that goes to Starbucks and does the same thing!
