Dear [Useless] Starbucks Baristas

I'm the girl who comes in wearing the [Useless] Law t-shirt at least once, if not TWICE a day and always orders a Venti Vanilla Latte. This has never been a problem, until the beginning of this week when for some reason the Barista made it a Non-Fat Vanilla Latte. Now, this one time didn't bother me, mistakes happen, we're only human after all.

But it happened again, and again, and again, and again, and finally AGAIN just about 5 minutes ago.

Let's see, that's what, about 5 or 6 times within the last week alone??

Seriously, are you all trying to tell me something? Cause it hasn't been the same barista that constantly makes the same mistake.

I realize that most of the female undergrads at [Useless] University are pretty skinny little things who have tons of time to work out, do their hair, and worry about what they eat. I get it, I really do. But when I was an undergrad at [Useless] I wasn't one of those girls, and law school certainly hasn't made me one of them. And for this, I'm not going to apologize.

I know it's just a coffee, I know that skim milk is probably more healthy for me, but I frankly just can't stand the taste of it- and believe me I can taste the difference.

I also realize that it might be totally absurd to be somewhat annoyed by something as insignificant as a non-fat verses a regular latte in a luxury item such as Starbucks. But please understand, I'm running on 4 hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky, during the other 20 hours a day where I'm awake I'm frantically finishing final papers, going to work, and trying to keep my head above water enough to pass my classes with semi-decent grades for this semester so that I can maybe have a shot in hell of getting a job after graduation to pay off those nasty loans that are going to be due and of course so I can keep buying venti vanilla lattes made with 2%, NOT non-fat milk!!!

Toodles!!
