The Seattle coffee bean powerhouse Starbucks issued new guidelines in U.S. and Canadian stores, saying baristas should work on no more than two drinks at a time to diffuse the image of a drink assembly line.
That infuriatingly annoying person in front of you who ordered that green tea latte and a hot tea? You’ll have to wait for your even-more-annoying ice water until the barista is done making those drinks.
In one of the fast-food realm’s notoriously longest lines, lines are going to get even longer as agitated caffeine-deprived junkies wait even more impatiently for their names to be misspelled on their coffee cups.

We’re glad Starbucks is so seemingly committed to pleasing us with more accurate, overpriced drinks, but let’s get this line moving, please.
