Yay, this fun little Tumblr thread involves a barista dude talking about his overwhelmingly positive antics, at the cafe. Sounds like some people get with that energetic flow, while others want nothing to do with the bubbly optimism. Either way, it sounds like this barista is completely at peace with where they are in the game of life, and thus decided to have fun with the moment as it is. Those drink nicknames are something else.
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.
The McDonald's hot coffee case went down in 90's history as a goofy late-night-talk-show-level absurdity that seemed like it was about a money-grubbing lady who was too dumb to know that coffee was hot. As it turns out, the details were more nefarious than that. For more people on tumblr getting blasted with knowledge, here are tumblr users getting schooled on car safety.
This customer decided to intervene on an entitled woman's irritating quest to lock down a sticker (for a free coffee journal) by ultimately doubling back and taking the sticker she'd originally turned down. The only way she could've rubbed it in the entitled customer's face more would've been to eat the sticker in front of her. Sheesh.
This guy unknowingly caffeinated his way into the 5th dimension. Let this serve as a cautionary tale that you've gotta be extra careful with that Cuban espresso. It is not a joke. Sounds like he basically consumed 12 cups of coffee in the matter of 5 minutes. At that point, you better just buckle up and try to enjoy the ride. Thankfully, it would seem he stayed safe.

Here's how to serve Wendy's hot drinks in glorious 80s pop music fashion. Frankly it's just too much, but personally we feel extremely informed on how to serve coffee now.
Customer service is the WORST. You're guaranteed to meet all kinds of entitled people just out looking to get pissed off at something. And from there it seems to be a terribly natural direction of rage at the people put there to help them out! Yikes all around.
