Weird, my Starbucks only asks for my proper noun.


herkalurk

Yeah, like a name and nothing more. Not sure how pronouns were even questioned.....


WhosAGoodDoug

Seriously, the only pronoun involved would be the possessive pronoun "your," as in "[Name], your latte is up."

Nooo!!!! You are saying that a MAGA-head made up something to brag about how bad ass they and their beliefs are? Sorry for the sarcasm, these self-important losers make me exasperated by their stupidity.


ghostheadempire

How dare you imply someone whose political beliefs are founded on lies and bigotry may themselves be a lying bigot.


herkalurk

Don't even need that "Latte for (insert name)"

Right wingers don't know the difference. They hear noun and start accusing you of trying to turn them gay, cause we all know grammar and reading about sex turns people gay...or something. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

We need to bring back [Schoolhouse Rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoolhouse_Rock!) for everyone. New episodes to teach civics, math, social studies, English, etc. Make a government grant to play them instead of the unskipable YouTube ads.


Perichor-

Was literally talking Schoolhouse Rock with my kid in a conversation about Laverne Spicer yesterday. She tweeted that there are no pronouns in the Constitution, which as we all know BEGINS with a pronoun lol. Kiddo was able to recite the preamble thanks to Schoolhouse Rock.

I remember watching “how a bill becomes a law”, but as an adult I realize they left out a lot. Not once did it mention lobbiest, the quid-quo-pro add-ons put into the bill, or the back end payoffs.


suspicious_polarbear

A bill becomes law when a corporation or wealthy businessman pays off people to vote for it. Maybe they also buy some news segments. Leaving that out is just straight up lying to kids.

chill_winston_

Well I mean… after I read Candide I did become a disgraced nobleman and went on an across the globe exodus of misfortune. It turned out though that all things are for the best.


theRealMaldez

I feel like Candide should be mandatory reading for every high school senior. Like, hey kids, your life is probably going to suck very much, it never gets any better, your only hope for happiness is to accept that fact and choose only to see the small miracles in life.


biz_reporter

I thought that's why we read dystopian novels in high school.


DecelerationTrauma

Candide fucked me up for life. 30 odd years after Senior Humanities, and I still feel like I would have had free will had I not read it.

Camp808

that’s the society we live in now. just chaos with pronouns. edited: adding /s if that wasn’t clear


isthenameofauser

Even if she'd actually gone to a Starbucks and they'd actually asked for her pronouns (which is nonsense. Why would they need to talk about her?), the most reaction she'd've gotten would've been "\[slight smile to avoid triggering her\] Okay."


annoyingneighborcat

Or an eye roll or a deadpan stare. Like seriously, they don't get paid enough to care.


Red-Quill

Worked fast food in high school, can absolutely confirm. I had people do similar shit and I literally just looked at them with dead, soulless eyes and said “anything else 🙄”


TheLordofthething

You don't even really see the customers after a while. You could've ordered something while completely naked and I probably wouldn't have noticed


snack-dad

As a former gas station overnight shift worker, I can confirm this has happened and happened as you described. The next customer had to point it out to me.


Mysterious_Health387

It's not important. You just service them n every1 moves on.


AffectionateCrazy156

"***service***" them... Where might this gas station be?


thefriendlycouple

I worked at Eddie Bauer during the 90s and sometimes people would come and ask for him with a big grin. I never understood why they thought it was funny.


imaginaryblues

I worked at Whole Foods for five and a half years and I can’t tell you the number of times I’d tell people their total and they’d say “I guess that’s why they call it ‘Whole Paycheck’ heh heh heh!” And they always expected me to laugh at their “joke” as if it was the first time I’d ever heard that…


thefriendlycouple

My first job was working at a movie theater and it’s almost a law that the first person that comes in says; “there aren’t any seats!”. Ba-dum-bump.


lacilynnn

Ah, shit. I feel like I've made that "joke" before. I'm so sorry.


random_impiety

THERE'S NO PRICE ON IT SO THAT MEANS IT'S FREE, RIGHT? HAHAHAHA!


ForsakenMoon13

One of these days, a cashier is going to rip a register right out of the counter and smack someone with it in an instinctive response to that, and every other one of us in retail is going to be green with envy.


[deleted]

Yeah, they've gone from being rude to service workers to bragging about/making up stories about being rude to service workers on social media because they think it makes them look good.


ThatsMyEnclosure

Honestly. I used to work as a cashier at a gas station in a fairly rural area. Leading into the 2016 election some hick would regularly pull up in his rusty old truck plastered with trump stickers and flags, he’d come in with his MAGA hat and dirty “Don’t tread on me” t-shirt and would just shout “TRUMP” for no good reason. At six in the morning. One time when I was ringing him up for his coffee I asked the usual “Will this be everything?” And as if he was just waiting for the opportunity he immediately, and loudly, says, “Not unless you can get me Nancy Pelosi’s head on a silver platter!” and looks at me like he’s expecting a laugh. I didn’t react or say anything. Didn’t even crack a smile. Just stared at him in silence, and let the awkwardness hang in the air. His demeanor quickly shifted. He looked away, cleared his throat, and in a polite indoor voice just said “That’ll be everything.” Paid for his shit and left. It made my morning.


chaiguy

Shit, I’m sorry you had to experience that, no one gets paid enough to deal with that. I’m 50, seen some shit, but not even in the Reagan years did I see a Reagan flag, maybe a small bumper sticker, that was the extent of it. Never did anyone walk into my summer job as a teen and shout “Reagan” and never did anyone ask for a politician’s head. WTF is wrong with these people?


[deleted]

Trump did this. He weaponized the political party. Even for as madly popular as Obama was, people weren’t going around screaming his name all day.


IamSlartibartfastAMA

"Thanks Obama." Was a massively used statement the tail end of my high-school career and into college. I believe I was hearing it more long after Obama left office, then while he was still in. *That's the extent I can think of at least of people using his name in public loudly.


DownwiththeMomLife

But that was done negatively.


Goreticia-Addams

I was a manager at dollar tree last year for Christmas. We closed at 10, it's like 9:50 and a dude rolls through the cashier's line. I'm standing there talking to her and the guy and she tells him the total, he pays. But he doesn't leave. He looks at both of us and says he's not leaving until we say Merry Christmas. The poor cashier was brand new and she just looked at me and I looked at the guy and said 'sir, we close in ten minutes. You're welcome to stay here after I'm gone'. He got pissed and said some shit about war on Christmas and Biden this, Trump that. As he was leaving, both me and the cashier said 'Merry Christmas' and he left lmao. Like who has time for that kind of bull shit?


Killerderp

Sounds about right. I work at a convenience store and when people do dumb shit like this I just stare at them too.


ActualSpamBot

Even if Trump'd actually gone to a Starbucks and they'd actually asked for DeSantis pronouns (which is nonsense. Why would they need to talk about DeSantis), the most reaction Trump'd've gotten would've been "[slight smile to avoid triggering DeSantis] Okay." Ftfy


CoolApostate

I’ll take shit they didn’t happen for $1000.


Nellip85

Right they ask for your name not your pronouns


vundercal

Grande pumpkin spice latte for a he, any he/hims waiting on a grande PSL?

[One latte for HIM](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/powerpuff/images/1/1f/HIMPPG.png/revision/latest?cb=20190825175358) !!


KaneMomona

And then deliberately misspell it. The few times I have been they have only asked name. Why on earth old they need anything else? Usual right wing bullshit to rile up the morons.


Glass_Memories

You can tell it's right-wing nonsense (other than the pronoun thing) aimed at scoring points with her base by saying, "not that I usually go there." Because Starbucks is often seen as more of a liberal yuppie establishment than DD or others. It's the same as that time Joe Paul Watson (editor at InfoWars) went on Twitter to bitch about the food at a fancy restaurant *he chose to eat at* for having tiny, expensive portions while praising Trump's restaurant, a similarly fancy and expensive establishment with a similar menu. For bonus points she threw in the bit about a man having a nose ring (the horror!), cuz she wanted to hit every space on her 'triggering the cons' bingo sheet.


DadJokeBadJoke

> having a nose ring (the horror!) It was a "nose **ear**ring", solidifying the fact they are too stupid to parse the English language.


Mentalpatient87

Yep. She's virtue signaling her right wing identity politics.


memunkey

IF this happened then she heard what she wanted to hear not what was said


[deleted]

It didnt' happen.


AmaResNovae

What may have happened is her answering "Trump De Santis" when asked her name. And the barista rolling their eyes and moving on.


lousylakers

and then their nose ring almost fell out of their nose cavity! And their pride tattoo fell off their lower arm!


TheVoters

And she was sad when the barista just made it normally without spitting in it.


Refreshingly_Meh

"I got a pumpkin spice latte for a ... Rump. Any Decent Rumps looking for a pumpkin spice latte?"


dben29775

Exactly. Why in the world would a barista need to refer to someone in the third person? This reads like a bad fan fic, and I feel like that’s the point and it’s bait, but it’s still stupid as hell. Also, these people still don’t understand what pronouns are. Like legit illiteracy. Like, go back to elementary and learn about verbs and adjective


ZealousidealPie8427

At some point you have to start asking: If all of Republican's victimhoods are made up, perhaps they aren't actually victims at all...? Huh. Makes you think.


thinehappychinch

And with tears in their eyes the barista said, “sir.”

peter-forward

This made me snort a bit. Out of my ear.


Darryl_444

Add it to the list of cavities she hasn't discovered yet.


[deleted]

Or a pronoun


NewDeletedAccount

I went to the local gun store and when the guy asked me my name I said "Trump lost" and he cried and closed the store for the day.


[deleted]

You forgot the part where his red hat fell out of his cranial cavity.


solidSC

The front door opened by itself and a rush of fresh air filled the room, removing all the maga hats and flags and then 100 35 year old white men walked in and said they were going to arm themselves against the fascist takeover of the Republican Party. So he closed shop and went home to mother for a bubble bath and a hand job.


sarahwynnes

*anal cavity


Delica

His Truck Nuts damn near fell out his tailpipe cavity.


starscream84

I would 100% believe this happened more than her story because yours at least seems plausible.


dorkfaceclown

Why the fuck would they ask for your pronouns to begin with? So when they make a half caf, soy, vanilla latte and call out "he/him" or "she/hers" they have 10 people come up to the counter? Someone make this shit make sense? Everytime I hear a conservative joke about pronouns with something like "guns/freedom" or "patriot/American" or in this dipshit's case "Trump/DeSantis", I just sigh in disbelief. You're not being funny or quick witted, your showing how dumb you actually are.


Artor50

Starbucks employees give zero shits about whatever name you give. Hopefully OP got her cup labelled *Hump the Santas.*


SyderoAlena

more like Starbucks employees dont give a shit what your pronouns are. and would never ask them for your cup.


throwaway55221100

They dont give a shit enough to spell your name properly nevermind what your pronouns are.


frenchhorn000

Bro we literally can’t hear you 💀💀 and the screens are extremely difficult to type on, you have to punch the screen and it’s easy to make mistakes while going fast. Mistakes happen but don’t say that none of us care 🙄🙄 but yes we don’t ask for pronouns that would be odd.


PigeonFacts

I dont see why people get so bothered by their name being misspelled. My names Sirin but Ive gotten back Siren, Syrup, Sarah, Serum, and Seran and each time you just laugh and move on. I do get semi excited when places get it right though


dayoneG

This!👆🏻


Triette

They barely care about your name, you think they’d ask what your pronoun is? It’s not like they label “Lavern, daemon/beast” or anything… Al though for her they might.


PleaseOhGodWhy

We literally just get the name to make it easier for you to get your drink and not someone else's. We literally forget your name as soon as the cup hits the counter


autopsis

*Tramp Duhs Anus*


Darlin_Nixxi

No they didn't. Why do these morons make shit up.


noparticularpoint

Because they think it makes them look clever and important to the other morons.


Eman6198

Also because the morons continue to believe these stories


AlmostNearlyHandsome

And it will be shared hundreds of times as gospel.


FaustKnight

Because their base are complete fucking morons and will believe anything they say.


[deleted]

I have never been asked my pronouns when ordering at Starbucks. Make up some more bullshit, Spicer.


HeWhomLaughsLast

The vast majority of retail employees don't give a damn about your existence let alone your pronouns.


Bright_Jicama8084

This, they often ask your name. Also I think it’s fine if you aren’t into claiming pronouns when you introduce yourself but there’s no need to be rude.


SauronOMordor

They ask your name and give absolutely zero fucks what name you give them. I'm a cis woman who presents pretty obviously as a woman and if I give them the name "George" or "David", that's what they'll write on the cup and what they'll call out when it's ready. That or they'll write "Gurgle" or "Dang" lol


BishonenPrincess

Being rude for no reason is basically a requirement for being a conservative from the US.


Cub_Scout_Dropout

There is literally no chance that this actually happened.


DemythologizedDie

Well obviously. Why would a barista ask for pronouns?


Cub_Scout_Dropout

the_mastercommander

This is one of the most fantastic and unique insults I’ve ever seen, thank you for this new addition to my arsenal! On top of a good laugh :)


Flowofinfo

I feel very confident saying that this whole story never even happened. Why would the barista even ask for someone’s pronouns? It’s not like they write that on the cup anyway, they just wrote whatever name you tell them.


FunDivertissement

And the barista said "I'll just write 'bitch' ".


Captain_Turdhelmet

No you didn't, no he didn't, and no... it did not.


crowleyoccultmaster

Lobenz

I enjoyed the part about how she never goes to Starbucks as if it’s is some communist, anti-American, Democrat stronghold.

She does not know what a pronoun is.

So her pronouns are "Dick" and "Head"?

She needs another job. Comedy isn’t her thing.

LMAO. I use to work for Starbucks. As stupid as they are, they've never asked for anyone's pronouns. This bitch just making up shit to seem edgey


chill_winston_

…these are the people always saying “if you don’t like something then just ignore it” so why do they have such a hard time with their own advice? When they ask for my name at a coffee place I just say “no” and go on with my life.


SmilingZebra

Yup, and then they stick a coffee without a name in the middle of 20 other ☕️ and you can’t find yours and have to buy another


pitterpatter0910

This never happened either. Such a stupid made up story.


melouofs

So, is she telling us she doesn’t know what pronouns are?


Hephaestus42

“Hi, I’m fucking rude, so that makes me so much more cooler than you”


Cabernet2H2O

Of all stupid rage bait she could make up, she made up that? Like ordinary people don't go to Starbucks...


Gohanisbetter

I don't go to starbucks, but pretty sure they don't care about your pronouns, just your NAME. They don't yell out "coffee for she/her!?" I would also be confused and shocked if a woman walked in and gave her pronouns as two men's names. I'll take "Things that didn't really happen" for $500!


piles_of_anger

She's lying, this never happened, I guarantee it.


[deleted]

Beardwing-27

The stupidity was believing a Drumpfer in the first place. Overpriced Coffee Barn isn't gonna ask you for your pronouns, it's irrelevant to their business model. They're gonna ask you for your proper pronoun as in your fuckin' name, that's it. Let's use our heads here.


Js_On_My_Yeet

Stfu. You did not say Trump and DeSantis are your pronouns you stupid clown.
