Starbucks

Customers have a long and storied history of asking for things that will actively do them harm, like this Karen who wanted donuts straight out of the fryer oil. The thought of giving a customer an extremely hot cup of liquid harkens back to the reality of the McDonald's hot coffee case, which no person working at a coffee place wants to repeat. Anyway this lady asked for some real hot tea and she got it.

A young woman tweeted out a wonderful, wholesome little encounter she had with another customer at Starbucks. Sounds like the guy was with his wife and having a great day, and his day got even better when he proceeded to hold hands with a couple strangers and score a free drink in the process. A solid example of turning an awkward situation into a great day. 

British Comedian, Tiffany Stevenson witnessed one absolutely ridiculous situation involving a male Starbucks barista telling a pregnant woman that she shouldn't take her special coffee beverage with caffeine in it. Who asked you for advice, my dude? 

Starbucks was the real star of last night's Game of Thrones episode. Yes, a fan went ahead and pointed out that it looks like someone left a Starbucks cup lying around set, when they filmed the actual scene that aired last night! Naturally, Twitter tore into the hilarious fail with nothing short of spicy bloodlust. 

Check out some of our favorite reactions from episode 4 over here! Game of Thrones got real steamy last night. 

Here are some frightening examples of brands sinking deeper into everyday life, rewritten history and creeping cynicism in a changing world. Really makes you feel like pretty soon we'll all be working for the same corporation for 16 hours a day. Yikes.

TIL they can still hear you when you're not ordering. Here are some wondrous tales from both sides of the microphone about the inherent weirdness of sitting in your car asking a box for your dinner. Well, people say stupid things when they're hungry. We know full well that drive-thrus can get strange.

Break out these secrets from Starbucks employees and/or customers for your next visit. There's a lot more to your Starbucks experience than meets the eye, and these people are here to tell you where to look for next time. 

This could have just been some normal, run-of-the-mill copyright infringement, but it just had to be a weird mishmash of products and brands you'd never need or want. Who remembers the transforming robot from Frozen? Anyone?

And then everyone clapped...

And then the whole Starbucks clapped. 

Somebody stop these animals!

These caffeine-crazed individuals are chasing the edge of sanity with these drink choices. 

100% still a better love story than Twilight. 

Can I get a collective slow clap round of applause for a Unicorn Frappucci-NO, or what?!

This is a prime example of why you've always gotta be careful with what you put on the internet. Granted, tweeting about spitting in someone's beverage is a pretty damn surefire way of taking the shortcut to the unemployment bench.
