Reduced Fat BlueBerry Coffee Cake

The only thing I ever order to eat at Starbucks is the Reduced Fat Blueberry Coffee Cake. Last week, the manager was ringing me up (instead of the awesome baristas at my local Starbucks) and when I ordered one Iced Venti Chai and one Reduced Fat Blueberry Coffee Cake she handed me a Blueberry muffin and a Chai that by the way really wasn't that good. (The Chai being proof that usually the associates are better than the managers at the actual work).

Anyhow, I corrected her on the blueberry muffin and she exchanged for the coffee cake.Today, the manager was ringing up again and the following conversation occurred

Kim: One Iced Venti Chai and Reduced Fat Blueberry Coffee Cake
Manager: Iced Venti Chai and Blueberry Muffin
Kim: No, that's a Reduced Fat Blueberry Coffee Cake
Manager (joking): You did that to me last week! Have a problem with remembering what to order, huh?

Um, no, you clearly have a listening problem and I will be bringing Joshua by at the start of your day from now on to remind you to listen carefully. Reduced Fat Blueberry Coffee Cake sounds nothing like Blueberry Muffin.

how annoying. I hate it when people don't listen to what I am saying. We have an issue with that here at work, no offense to you Jenn.

that is terrible. next time you should order a blueberry muffin, when they repeat and then you correct to blueberry coffee cake you should tell the manager that they clearly have a problem listening to their customers.

not cool
