Today, I went to Starbucks to get coffee. The employees told me that there was no more coffee. I started cursing at them and told them that I am in a really big hurry, and that I need coffee every day. They had been yelling back the whole time. Little did I realize, they were saying April Fool's. FML

Today, I had to admit that my coffee addiction is really bad when I woke up in a Starbucks with no memory of how I got there. FML

Today, I went into a small coffee shop. In line, a guy came up to me and was like "I haven't seen you here before, are you new in town?" and I replied with "Oh, no I've lived here for years. The coffee here is crap, though, so I only come here when Starbucks is full" He's the owner of the shop. FML

No coffee for you

Today, I walked into Starbucks for a job application. I asked the manager if they were hiring, as I really need a job. He looked me up and down and replied, "NO!" There was a 'Now hiring' sign in the window. FML

Today, I went to Starbucks to get my free birthday coffee and due to a mistake I received two. Thinking it was my lucky day, I hurried off to work. As I was walking in, I tripped and spilt one coffee all over my new dress. Then I walked into a door and spilt the other. FML

In through the out door

Today, I stopped at Starbucks to get tea before work and was surprised that there wasn't a line. As I was leaving, the automatic door closed, knocking my tea out of my hand. I headed back in, only to discover a huge line had formed and they made me pay for the replacement that their door spilled. FML

Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. FML

Today, I was late for work and got chewed out by my boss. To console myself I decided to drink a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. My work provides this for free. When I did, my boss told me that in fact it wasn't, nor has it ever been, free; all this time I've been stealing other people's coffee. FML

Today, a customer screamed at me, because her iced coffee tasted exactly like coffee, and she hates coffee. Sadly, this isn't even the most insane person I've had to deal with at this job. FML

Today, I set my cup of coffee down on the stall floor to take care of my business. A hand reached under the stall door and took my coffee. I yelled to give it back, calling them obscene names. Moments later, my fresh coffee came flying over the door. I'm burned from my head to my legs. FML

Wow I work at Starbucks, we hate assholes like you. Aight? If we don't have coffee cause our CEO makes us make coffee every half hour on top of everything we have to do you'd realize it ain't easy. We give you a free Americano and a free drink receipt. So honestly dude, leave earlier or skip coffee. We don't need pricks like you ruining our jobs.

You are the reason food-service employees hate their lives. Asshole.

The YDI are the reason I have, once again, lost faith in humanity. April Fools gags are rarely actually funny, and anyone who does stupid shit as described above, especially to a customer, deserves to get bitched at. Your job is to sell coffee. Not to make lame attempts at being 'funny'.

no, its a company joke (I swear they really do this EVERY YEAR). and no matter what someone does to you, screaming at them isn't acceptable. you're the one that makes me loose faith in humanity. For thinking that its fine to treat another person like dirt because of an admittedly dumb joke.

You can give up caffeine. I did and it turned out to be a good idea. I suggest you do too.

prick. even if they were out of coffee, it clearly isnt the employees fault. those of us in retail/food service dont get paid nearly enough to listen to people like you bitch at shit out of our control gtfo and get a ******* coffee maker while your at it

Did they then offer you some cheese with that whine you big baby? I hope they refused to serve you anyways. If a grown person came into my store as a customer and acted that way I'd refuse to serve you and ask you to leave. Even if they were out of coffee, it's not the employees' faults.

Even if it wasn't an April Fool's Day prank that would be uncalled for. You pull that shit with me and I'll never make your drink. Hell, I'd probably call the cops and get you thrown in jail for disturbing the peace. Sometimes, things run out. If the rush is crazy then sometimes we manage to run out of both kinds of coffee. Either wait five minutes or take the Americano. If you freak out like that then your blood pressure is probably too high and you should stop drinking caffeine. Jackass.
