Another reason I am so not cut out for retail – how do you not spit in the latte of someone who says something like that? (Or at very least refuse to give them extra foam or something.)

At Starbucks, we sell this thing called Ethos Water, the proceeds of which go to help kids in Africa. We had a poster at one point that showed how some of the kids in Africa had to walk x number of miles every day to get fresh water, and one day, these stoner kids came into our store, looked at the poster, and said “doesn’t that make you NOT want to buy that water? Those kids have to walk SO far just to get it…”. Your post reminded me of that.

Yeah, that “when *I* was a kid …” thing has been around since Cain & Abel first appeared on the scene, methinks.

I think kids our days were just as stupid… we were just better than everyone else…
