Sick and perturbed sense-of-humor post follows:
During this holiday season it can be even more difficult for you folks to deal with the "normal" problem customer. Add the cold weather, holiday rush, and the Consumers' "spirit" of the season can make working the counter a fecking nightmare. But don't bring the Glock to work! It would be far too kind and quick an end to those customers who deserve lead poisoning. The beverages you serve can be a far more effective weapon, taking their toll over the long term; slowly, insidiously, from the inside out. Let's take a look at one popular beverage which you can imagine as your WMD:
The SB 20 oz. Venti Peppermint Mocha

So as the rude holiday crowds carry out their massive beverage, and ask for extra vanilla pumps, think of their heart and the C.H.F. they will eventually suffer, and the needle they will be shoving into their arms to treat their diabetes with the possible side effects of blindness and amputations, and joyfully wish them a Happy Holiday Season (possibly their last), and smile!
