eveglassTo the woman standing in front of me at Starbucks:
Wow, it sounds like you really wanted those China Green Tips. I appreciate that it's the drink your daughter always gets. But when the clerk tells you that there's a Quebec-wide shortage and the only stores that are still serving it are just using up their old stock, the correct response is not to get mad at the clerks. They're just doing their job, and there's nothing they can do about a green tea shortage.
Yes, you could call the district manager in Toronto. Her number's right up on the board. But I'm pretty sure she knows there's a provincial shortage. It's not the sort of thing you just miss.
On the other hand, if there's no tea, there's no tea. Maybe it was a bad growing season in China. Maybe the weather's lousy over there.
I repeat, getting mad at the guys serving you your drink will not help and it makes the people around you uncomfortable. Please remember this for next time.
Cheers,
Julie
