Starbucks Snob

So one day I decided to stop at a Starbucks, get a nice Cafe Mocha and relax and read my book inside where it's warm.  (Don't worry Sparky, with no whip cream it's only like 3grams of fat, and I never get the whip cream)

I walked up to the counter, the Spanish punk rock coffee snob asks me what I'd like
"Tall Cafe Mocha please, no whip cream"
Without missing a beat he says "No, tall is for children, do you want this or this (picture him holding up two other sized cups)"
That one (as I point to the smaller one)
I pay and as I'm waiting for my order I think he must have misunderstood me, he must have thought I said Small, instead of Tall (right, tall is what they call their small, but whatever, there's also the expresso size that I have seen them give to kids before)

What I ended up with is a grande (meduim)
What a total coffee snob - what was he thinking, I can't seriously want a small/tall, "if you're going to drink coffee do it right and get the big size"  whatever.

No I didn't go back, yes, I drank it....
