What Happened to Just Regular or Decaf?

My husband and I were at Starbucks over the weekend. I had walked up to the counter after he had already ordered for both of us and we were waiting over to the side for our venti fat free quad espresso pumpkin spice latte that we were going to share. (Have you had the pumpkin spice latte? Mmmm.)

A woman was getting her coffee in front of us. She was older, well dressed and looked like what I might imagine a high-society southern woman might look like.

Most people who order at Starbucks are very specific about what they want. You go to Starbucks because you want to be particular about size, flavor and consistency. Why else would anyone pay this much for coffee?

This woman was not only particular about all of the normal things you are particular about when going into Starbucks, but she had one unusual addition to the laundry list of requests.

She wanted her coffee to be exactly 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

I don't even know what else to say about it.
