Awhile back I posted about the evil Starbucks breakfast sandwich that I encountered… how I was tricked into thinking a Portobello Mushroom Piadini would be nothing but a little bit of light tasty goodness, while it was really a big fat nasty square of cellulite happening on my tush.
This morning I headed to the same Starbucks store to get a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Everyone has been talking about them in blogland so I figured with the chill in the air and the light drizzle a toasty cup of SB would be perfect. WRONG.
I don’t know if I have ever told you that I am slightly lactose intolerant. For some reason cheese does not bother me, nor does fat free milk once in a blue moon – but full fat dairy just rocks my world (and not in a good way).
So I ordered my fat free Pumpkin Spice Latte and skipped out of Starbucks with a big smile on my face. Two hours later I was plotting my attack on SB. The barista must have been the devil in disguise because she most definitely served me FULL FAT milk. How do I know? Well, for starters, my stomach is making noises that sound like a thunderstorm/boiling pot of water. My mouth tastes like pootie. My belly looks like I am about 18 weeks preggers. And I have a headache.
I am SOOOO mad right now…I want to walk into Starbucks and slap every person in there. What if I asked for soy milk because I was allergic to milk and I died after drinking my FULL FAT REAL MILK LATTE. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
Ugh. This sucks. There has been more than once where they have served me full fat instead of skim, but for me it is just a taste (or actually foam) preference.
Feel better!
Oh my goodness!! I HATE it when that happens! What is really random is that the same sort of thing happened to me at the Starbucks in Nashville just last night! Daniel and I walked over to our local Starbucks for a quick little coffee date, and I ordered my usual fat-free, sugar-free vanilla latte and went on about my merry way. It tasted like it always does, but what later ensued was a night filled with not so pleasant tummy…umm…issues. So bless your heart, I totally know how you are feeling! 🙁
Hope you get to feeling better soon!
Many starbucks in the area have put up signs saying “Taste your drink before you leave, if it’s not right, we’ll fix it”. I’ve caught a few mistakes that way, maybe try that in the future, if there is a future? I can generally taste the difference between soy and skim milk and will watch people like a hawk for the kinds of milk they use. My tummy has been going through hell lately, too, so I totally sympathize!
hope you feel better 🙁
I hate that! I get tea all the time (with NO syrup) and sometimes I think they do it to be funny but they put the syrup which contains 200 calories of sugar nastiness. I throw it away!!! I much prefer my unsweet 0 calorie tea.
PS thanks for the link for that ring dish. I ordered mine last night. Can’t wait to see it!!
44 days!!
Girl I am right there with you. Yes, it’s a little TMI. But seriously, it’s a BFD and a pain in my ass.
