This turns my crank!Enough with the trendy speech.
May I suggest a book by Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck.

I'd recommend not leaving the house and certainly staying off the internet. You're way behind, so you've got to get all the way through to the use of "like," and up to current times where we have dumb shit like "on fleak" and "yeet."
You probably shouldn't talk to anyone under 30 for any reason.

His daughter placed the order and since it was the drive through, I'm going to guess his daughter was driving. Nowhere in his post does it say he patronized Starbucks.
Given enough time, today's trendy turn of the phrase may become a cliche from the last century.

So you're upset that someone who wasn't talking to you acknowledged your daughters order and spoke nicely to her probably using a phrase that they were instructed to use.

And if I ordered an appetizer for dinner, and someone told me that, I would....tell them yes, you do that. And give him the frowning of a lifetime

Folks, from the "You can't make this stuff up department"
Just this morning I called in a prescription renewal to my friendly, neighborhood , mom and pop drug store. The gal didn't even asked my name and date of birth as usual, just asked for the prescription number and I gave it to her.
Her reply? "We'll get that started for you."

There was a similar blow-up about the phrase "no problem" in this very section a few years ago. (Either "no problem" or "it's nothing"; my memory is a bit hazy.)
Hell, that also may have been G.P.C., for all I know.

I wish I had so few problems that stuff like that pissed me off
