  1. The cafe fired the barista; if they were smart, they should bar that despicable customer from their establishment. I bet if she is allowed to return, she will abuse the other baristas, esp after learning about the fired one.

  2.  @woodkey1  The customer was "late", but even had time to argue with the barista afterwards. Not you, but if someone needs "coffee to make their day", that is rather pathetic. That rude customer should learn the world DOES NOT revolve around her. Hopefully, coffee power in her face will wake her up.

  3.  @ILovePlayingZeldaGamesOnSwitch  The barista is less wrong. Big deal the customer paid, yet she was offended/upset when the barista cancelled her order. If she was really that late, thru her own fault, then accept the cancellation or just leave with less $5; instead she was highly narcissistic and demanding, assuming she had the right pressure to the barista. Even after having coffee power in her face, the customer still had TIME to argue with the barista. Service workers SHOULD NOT tolerate abuses.

  4.  @sheevpalps3846  I AM in the service industry; I am a physician. That customer was uber rude and demanding + her behavior is unacceptable. The customer wanted her coffee "fast", so the barista gave it to her, so fast in the face, that she didn't know what happened. Courtesy is a 2 way street !!! If you abuse others, be prepared to be abused back !!!

  5. Agree. That despicable customer also felt she had the right to control the barista. I f one wants control, then make the coffee at home, as you posted. Also, I question whether she was actually late, but just lying to pressure and manipulate the barista; she had enough time afterwards to argue with the barista.

  6.  @naga2015kk  You can never please people like that customer; people like her want it done yesterday.

  7.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  A Chinese poster wrote that the insufferable customer was criticized by Chinese netizens.

  8.  @Monatio79  So the customer whom "needs coffee" will die, if she doesn't have her coffee, ready yesterday ? Don't be so "high and mighty"; I bet you would not be able tolerate that time challenged, disagreeable, narcissistic nag.

  9.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  NO, that obnoxious customer started to pressure the barista by claiming she was late; the rude customer initiated the unpleasant exchange. You are not a psychiatrist.

  10.  @sheevpalps3846  You SHOULD be sorry because that despicable customer: -was so inept that she was running late -was late, but still insisted on having her addictive coffee -uttered a curse word when her coffee drug was not made fast enough -was supposedly late, but still had time to argue with the barista afterwards. Not surprise you completely and conveniently ignored the context and circumstances, which preceded the barista's action. In my book, cursing at someone is abusive !

  11.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  I don't go around labeling everyone "unstable" like you !!!
    3
  12.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  They BOTH have a problem; the rude customer even used a deleted curse word before the heated exchange.
    3
  13.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  And why are you defending the the foul-mouthed customer like she is your mother ???
    3
  14.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  That despicable customer didn't throw anything, but used a curse word - such a "nice lady".
    3
  15.  @sheevpalps3846  I could defend whomever I want to and it is none of your business; deal with it.
    3
  16.  @nvd2ceb4  TOTALLY AGREE !!! That narcissistic customer was so unreasonable, trying to get (she may have had a coupon) "fast" coffee when she was late. Then she abused the barista with cursing. People like that obnoxious customer will not be content unless they walk all over you.
    3
  17.  @Monatio79  The fact is that obnoxious customer assumed she had the right to manipulate and control others, by pressuring the barista. If one wants full control, then make the coffee by yourself, at home, which is what I do. There is also verbal violence, and if the recipient suffered enough of it, don't expect the recipient to be kind. I bet you would NOT be able to tolerate that insufferable customer !!!
    3
  18.  @Monatio79  The customer felt she had the "right to hassle and pressure" the barista. Not very smart that you took "throwing stuff" out of it's context. What I would have done was to make the coffee extremely, painfully slow. You imply that you will be able to tolerate that despicable customer, when you can't even tolerate opposing opinions, mine and other posters here.
    2
  19.  @Monatio79  Professionalism does NOT only apply to work. You criticize the barista for her behavior, but your condescending and dismissive behavior to other posters is even worst !
    2
  20.  @woodkey1  Excellent pick-up on the obnoxious customer's foul language; really give you insights into her poor character. I would have made the coffee painfully slow; even drop it, so I would have to restart it again, but definitely taking > 5 minutes.
    2
  21.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  You are wrong. Poster @user-zr3zn5yi7o wrote in Chinese that the despicable customer was criticized by netizens all over China. You have the mental problem, assuming you can make a diagnosis.
    2
  22.  @StephenChowKINGOFCOMEDY  According to you everybody "needs help". Did you even read that a Chinese poster wrote that the obnoxious customer was criticized all over China ???
    2
  23.  @Monatio79  And that unreasonable customer should have not even gone into the cafe initially, since she was "running late", which is what logic would dictate. But no, she "must" have her coffee, and continues to comport irrationally, even after the powder was in her face - if she was "late", why is she staying there, arguing with the barista ??? More and more, seems like she was using her feigned tardiness to manipulate others.
    2
  24. Both were wrong, but I blame the customer more. If you are running late, then just SKIP the coffee. Apparently, the customer was not so late that she stopped for coffee. Adding insult to injury, the customer was rushing the barista. I hate when others try to rush me.

  25.  @let-them-just-let-them  Not true. There are many cases where the staff abuses the residents.
    1
  26.  @let-them-just-let-them  Firstly, I was not writing about nurses, but staff in general. Secondly, I work in a group practice, not a nursing home, so I don't have the opportunity to witness bad behavior. Thirdly, I have read more than my share of nursing homes' neglect and abuses of their residents.
    1
  27.  @let-them-just-let-them  Of course I know abuse of nursing home residents is a crime. I was addressing your initial post that you have "never encountered... so rude of this magnitude", because there has been multiple cases of nursing home abuses; also I, being a physician, have witnessed rude and unprofessional behavior by nurses, when I was in training.

  28.  @let-them-just-let-them  I live in the US. I disagree with you that nursing is more stressful than other occupations. Every profession has it's unique stress and challenges.

  29.  @let-them-just-let-them  Cardiac surgery, Neurosurgery, Fire Fighters.

  30.  @let-them-just-let-them  Don't be condescending; you obviously DID NOT know about nursing and nursing homes in the US !!!
    1
  31.  @let-them-just-let-them  Stop whining about the "torment" in your profession; stop playing the victim. Furthermore, DON'T dismiss the stress in the food/beverage industry !!!
    1
  32.  @let-them-just-let-them  The argument is "plain and simple" for you, because you ARE simple. I will NEVER agree with you, whom doesn't have any compassion for other workers.
    1
  33.  @let-them-just-let-them  You wrote condescendingly, "You obviously don't have any idea how nursing is...", while you didn't know about the US. Not surprise you are constantly playing the victim; you should change your name to "s is for victimhood".
    1
  34.  @let-them-just-let-them  Apparently, you DIDN'T know about the nursing homes abuses.

  35.  @let-them-just-let-them  I am NOT telling myself anything, but rather was writing to you, got it ???
    1
  36.  @let-them-just-let-them  You stay in Asia, probably the Philippine, because you can't handle the conditions in the US. Even where you are, you complain of "psychological and emotional torment", working in America will break you.
    1
  37.  @let-them-just-let-them  I was not and am not "spreading misinformation" When I wrote, "nursing homes abuses" it was already discussed they were in the US, but I am not surprised you did not get it.
    1
  38.  @let-them-just-let-them  You should take your own "advice" - keep your insults and blissful ignorance (and your whining) to yourself.
    1
  39.  @let-them-just-let-them  The American nursing homes abuses are NOT the result of the judicial system - what an illogical and simplistic interpretation !!!
    1
  40.  @let-them-just-let-them  Big deal you are in Singapore; my presumption was not idiotic like your posting nursing home abuses were due to the US legal system; there is absolutely no connection between the two.
    1
  41.  @let-them-just-let-them  Since this went completely over your head, I will repost that you are in Singapore because you are NOT mentally and psychologically strong enough to work in the US. If Singapore is already a "torment", then working in the US, will be even worst for you.
    1
  42.  @let-them-just-let-them  You are in Singapore, which is already a "torment" for you, because you can't mentally and psychologically manage working in the US, which will be much worst.

  43.  @let-them-just-let-them  I am not "talking", but rather writing; learn the basic difference.
    1
  44.  @let-them-just-let-them  You need to learn to read. I wrote that whiny/victim you can't cope with working in the US, not that nursing is stressful, esp when you have nurse aides, respiratory therapists, phlebotomists and x-ray technicians, etc. Only people like you, will find dispensing meds, hanging fluids, and taking vitals a "torment".
    1
  45.  @let-them-just-let-them  "Being a nurse...one of the most stressful jobs" - the pathetic part is that in your victimhood mind, you believe this. You actually think nursing is more demanding than fighting fires, cardiac surgery and neurosurgery.
    1
  46.  @let-them-just-let-them  I did not agree with you, but rather pointed you could not handle working in the US.
    1
  47.  @let-them-just-let-them  Right, "nursing is one of the most stressful job". The sad part is that you believe it is more demanding than fighting fires, cardiac surgery and neurosurgery
    1
  48.  @let-them-just-let-them  Nursing must be "very stressful' when you have nurse's aides. Nursing must be "highly taxing" when you dispense meds, hang fluids and take vitals.
    1
  49.  @let-them-just-let-them  Global most stressful jobs: 1. Attorney 6. Firefighters 2. Compliance Officer 7. Mental Health Counselor 3. Construction Worker 8. Rehabilitation Counselor 4. Marriage/Family Therapist 9. Surgeon 5. Paramedic 10. Cardiovascular Technologist I was correct when I posted #6 and #9. Your "nursing is one of the most stressful job" did NOT even make the list, HaHa !!!
    1
  50.  @let-them-just-let-them  No, I am writing you that you are full of it when I have documented 10 jobs infinitely more demanding than yours.

  51.  @let-them-just-let-them  What is "enegery" ??? Getting dementia ??? Obviously you are beyond help when you delude yourself assuming that "nursing is more stressful than firefighting".

  52.  @let-them-just-let-them  We physicians can do a nurse's job, but you don't have and never will have the skills, to perform as a doctor.
    1
  53.  @let-them-just-let-them  You are so delusional you can't even acknowledge your obvious misspelling - "enegery". I have to correct you, I speak American, not English. You claim to be a USRN, but you don't even know what is spoken here. Another mistake - "IOL"; your dementia is progressing. If your "firefighters barely operate" it only means you live in a dinky, boring, unattractive city.

  54.  @let-them-just-let-them  It is pathetic how you demean other professions, while simultaneously placing yours on a pedestal. You are obviously a narcissistic and difficult person; I pity your coworkers, whom have to tolerate you.

  55.  @Monatio79  I am not the one writing here "I know how to act professionally". If you really have any insights of professionalism, you would NOT post to others, "end of discussion".
    1
  56.  @Monatio79  You wrote to another poster "end of discussion" As @user-zr3zn5yi7o posted, you are a difficult person.

  57.  @Monatio79  I have many faults, and know them; but you are in complete denial of yours because you are impotent.

  58.  @BHKG8818  TOTALLY AGREE.

  59.  @tigerlancer  CORRECT !

  60.  @millionaireidealist4459  It is EXACTLY because I am a physician, that I try to champion the underdog. (You don't know physicians.) You are incapable of listening and seeing; the obnoxious, time-challenged customer cursed at the barista - "casually to hurry" ??? I, as a doctor, know how to organize my time; unlike that foul-mouth, narcissistic, pushy customer. Furthermore, I am usually early for the office, meetings or appointments.

  61.  @millionaireidealist4459  So what bright ideas have you created or have ???

  62.  @millionaireidealist4459  Unlike you, I, as a physician, don't use a pompous, self-aggrandizing user name.
