I seriously doubt the kid at the counter gave one flying fuck what kind of coffee you ordered.
Coffee flavored lemonade. Last time I went to a Starbucks I asked for just a black coffee, and the look they gave me really expressed the “dirty peasants and their inferior coffee taste” sentiment. Now I just make coffee at home to bring along.

I only ever order coffee or iced coffee, and I like to add milk and sugar myself. I don’t remember any of those interactions being weird, I ask for “just coffee”. They sometimes ask if I want to pay more for diabetes from a soap dispenser or stronger coffee in my coffee, I say no thanks (without commenting on the absurdity of that being a normal question), and they ring me up
You’re describing a very loaded look… They might just personally think black coffee is gross, or more likely the way you asked for it might’ve been strange.
They’re service grunts for a massive chain, and going back to the absurdity, it’s 2024. They probably get screamed at by a stranger for no reason frequently.
The look they gave you was probably them tensing up at a customer who doesn’t know the latest coffee ritual and might scream at them

That’s weird. Most Starbucks workers I know love when people order black coffee. It’s the easiest to make.

You’re right. @slopppyEngineer is just projecting their own misconceptions. Source: was a Barista at Starbucks.
