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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer threw his cup of coffee at me screaming that it wasn't hot enough. Well, maybe it wasn't hot enough for him, but it was sure hot enough to burn me. FML
Today, while working the drive-through, a woman ordered a large coffee with four creams. I handed her the coffee, and she took a sip. She then hurled it at me, screaming, "I said four creams, not five!" and sped off, leaving me drenched in hot coffee. 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, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, my coworker and I were swamped with coffee orders. I told him I would "take care of the blacks", and a customer who only heard that sentence screamed at me for several minutes about racism. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer, who was upset over having waited twenty minutes for a waiter to come take her order. Maybe it would be understandable, if she was sitting in an actual restaurant, and not a serve-yourself coffee house. FML
Today, at work, a customer ordered a caramel latte with no caramel. I made a regular latte after explaining that’s what it was. He got angry and threw it at me. I got fired for insulting his intelligence. FML
Today, I went through a drive-thru and ordered a coffee. The cashier asked, “Hot or iced?” I panicked and said, “Yes.” We both just stared at each other until she said, “So… which one?” I wanted to drive away and never return. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer because we didn't have any ketchup packets. I work in a coffee shop. FML
Today, a customer at my coffee shop bitched me out because we don't sell cranberry juice. FML

Pretty harsh considering we're only talking about coffee ;p.

that's what you get for working at a place that sells coffee. Before my first coffee in the morning I behave like a zombie. Slow and brainless, but look at me the wrong way and I will rip off your head and eat your brain. It's not my fault, it's the coffee's fault.

It's definitely ice's fault! When iced, coffee tastes more disgusting imho. Obviously, not drinking it, or drinking it hot could be sufficient!

Sounds like what this woman wanted was a fuckton of milk, cream, and flavored syrup with just a little bit of coffee to the point where it tasted like vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate, etc. with no intelligible taste of coffee. For some reason people think this is true iced coffee when in fact, its basically just dessert in a cup.

Coffee is the nastiest crap I've ever drunk. No amount of sugar and cream make it taste good its so damn bitter idk how ppl drink this shit everyday, that's why I drink lattes

You never ever put sugar and cream into coffee. It is an insult to real coffee. It just means that you used low quality beans and brewed them wrongly. Latté is good every now and then, but it is basically just milk that was spiced up a bit. Find yourself a good barista (and I don't mean Starbucks) who knows about beans and brewing and you will not think about messing it up with sugar and milk anymore.

It's a no-brainer, really. Coffee on its own has 0-5 calories per cup. Just get used to the taste and not add anything, and it'll be fine. The first bitter sip aids me in waking up, anyway, along with the caffeine, of course.
