 |
|
I went to a coffee shop and ordered few ice coffee.
After the coffee comes and the cashier put the lot-cup-holder in the counter so I grab it and put it in. Then.... I grab some hot-coffee-holder in the counter and 1 straw as the cashier did not supply me enough straws. They gave me 2 straws but the ice coffee is 3.
Right after grab the hot-coffee-holder I heard someone says "no no" and I was too afraid to look around and look at who is saying it. I did not look as it requires me to look at people's face and as I have autism it is hard for me to look at peoples eyes and face.
I still have this feeling where I think I'm not supose to get the hot-coffee-holder, that brown card board that helps hold the cup to not be hot. Did the cashier the one who says "no no" to me? I just walk out the door at normal pace then grab some paper on the way out so they think I did'nt run and scared.
In your fellow peoples opinion.... who says "no no" and why? and am I allowed to get the hot-coffee-holder for my ice cold coffee drink? I took it cause I dont want my hand to be wet and cold.
My grammer is not good is due to autism. |

It's up to the store, but they're being mean, petty misers if they won't let a paying customer have a little bit of cardboard to hold his/her drink with.
I'd say they're not working hard enough to earn the money you paid for your drink. Buy drinks somewhere else, if you can. |

Reading this makes my face goes red haha. I really hope the no no is not for me but I dont want to be indenial but I dont know... I am not sure. It is too coincedence at the exact time when I grab the hot-coffee-holder. My face was already red at the situation moment but my body acts normal.
It was at starbucks to be exact. If anyone works at starbucks before.... can customer help themselves by grabbing a hot-coffee-holder on the counter for a cold drink?

Neither am I, hahaha!
You didn't look to see where it came from so it's hard to say. Maybe it had nothing to do with you at all. |

| The thing that make me believe that it's for me is because no one reply to it. it was just "no no" right after I grab it then no follow up of voice. |

Asking someone in there might be good, I used to work in a resturante so I know that what's allowed might vary from costumer to customer and between who's serving it, so just ask if it's ok to take one.

It sounds more like something a parent would say to a child than staff would say to a customer.
I think you probably overheard another customer speaking to a little one. |

| Maybe you just had a paranoid moment and they were talking to somebody else. |

I second that! Sounds like a mother in the shop talking to her offspring.

"hot-coffee-holder, that brown card board that helps hold the cup to not be hot"- Oh you mean the cup condom.
A friend of mine worked at starbucks and she said thats what they all called those things. She also said, yes, it would be fine for you to take one and an extra straw. |

Where I come from you can take enough straws as you like in cafes and restaurants and nobody says no.

haha cup condom yeah thats it. Well that really make me feel better hearing from your friend that works at starbucks.
oh and uh I dont see any babies around though so the no no cant be a mother telling her baby no no. Anyway... I'm glad I did nothing wrong, even if the no no was really for me..... I have no right to feel ashame and guilty as starbucks allowed customers to help themselves with straws and cup condom. The cup condom and straws was right at the counter and I also have instinct that I can take it as it is common sense that I bought a drink from there and I can take the tools.
Hey lasrena and your friend doe's starbucks afraid to waste cup condom by the way? maybe cause I was using the cup condom for my cold drink which is intended for hot drinks... maybe that's why the no no? the staff that serve me the drinks was a young women in her early 20s and the no no voice sound like about her age. Maybe she just cranky working long hour... I dont know. now I'm just speculating randomly! |

Maybe it could've been something going on behind the counter, if there were no kids there. One of the employees was maybe doing something wrong and the supervisor was like, "no! no!" trying to stop her before she really messed something up. Could be something like that.
Either way I wouldn't worry about it. Just take one next time you're there if you need one. If someone explicitly says "you're not allowed to have that" or something like that, something more than just "no no" (no what?), then just say sorry and offer them a nickel for it or something. I think it would be kind of weird of them to forbid a paying customer from taking one for a cold drink, so they're the ones being unusual if that's what they're doing. But I doubt they're doing that. |

I see. Yeah I kindda stop thinking about it now. When it first happend I think alot about it that I feel awkward and uncomfortable that I was not supose to do.... felt like I want to tell someone but I have no one to tell so I thought I'll tell the internet to take it off my chest. Now few days past and I feel nothing it's like just that! why did I think too much about it! telling myself.
well thanks for responding guys and girls. |
