    If you say expresso one more time...

    1. Ordering a dry cappuccino makes you an awful human being.

    2. Early morning is horrible for everyone, including your barista, so inside voices are appreciated.

    3. Tipping goes a long way to good fortune.

    4. The lovely smell of fresh ground coffee gets old real fast.

    5. The restroom is a privilege, not a right.

    6. Changing your order as your drink is being made is an asshole move.

    7. A sample of coffee is not a free small coffee.

    8. Using "ordering hacks" and "secret menu" requests makes your barista hate you.

    9. Drinking decaf early in the morning is the most confusing thing ever.

    10. Not every barista is great at latte art.

    11. Misspelling your name is not meant as an insult.

    12. Cleaning the milk fridge is the grossest possible task.

    13. If you order while on your phone, revenge will be exacted.

    14. There is such a thing as too much caffeine.

    15. Starbucks lingo is stupid.
