Starbucks is a pickup spot?

So I went to Starbucks this morning for like the third time ever and I was wondering if this type of experience is pretty standard for a coffee shop.

I was preparing my coffee at the counter and a man stood beside me, reaches over my body and says, "Pass the soy milk???" I smiled politely and handed it to him as I was stirring in my 2 packets of Splenda. He then says, "Stuff will kill ya."

I just shrugged and replied, "So can car accidents." We both laughed and then he says, "But you look like you take care of yourself.... VERY WELL if I may say. Hope that's not outta line."

I assured him that was fine and thanked him for the compliment.

10 min later I'm getting ready to leave after checking some emails and flipping through the latest Harper's and I feel a tap on my shoulder. It's that man again and he says to me, "Heading over to the used bookstore across the street.... could use a second opinion." I bashfully declined and told him I had to get to work and that was that.

Who knew Starbucks could be like this? :blush:

    Pretty sure it wasn't just because it was Starbucks

    Passing the soy milk?! It shows interest. You were asking for it.

    I actually think it was the stirring motion while getting the soy milk. It's that come hither wrist motion and the hint of a reach around with the passing of the cream.

    You have a point. The condiment counter is an intimate space. All that free sugar laying around. Let's just agree that good looking people should stay out of Starbucks.

    As a former barista, I will attest to Starbucks being a pickup spot. The cups and sleeves also say "Caution: The beverage you're about to enjoy is extremely hot."

    If cute customers came in, sometimes we would be bold to cross out the right words to have it say "Caution: You're extremely hot."

    Or know their regular drink order and have it made before they have to say anything.
