[quote=“QuickSilver, post:38, topic:677306”] You inspect everyone’s drink?.. What’s wrong with you? No, in the past, friends have let me try their drinks and I can tell how full others drinks are when they are iced, and plus I see pics on facebook and twitter. And I have google image searched my specific drink and it always looks filled to the top in the pictures. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > They didn’t. Their offerings are extremely standardized. The drink was made and you approved, then the whipped topping “melted” down. Then you did the same. I approved because before the whip melted I couldn’t tell how much whip was in there since I could only see the top. And I did not melt down. ---

> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > I guess I’m confused. Did you expect the whipped cream to levitate on top? Once it melts, whatever space it took up will now be empty. How is that the barista’s error? Did they make differently than you asked for, or differently than advertised? Or were they unwilling to accommodate your request for extra milk in an otherwise properly made drink? Whipped cream melts? 😕 ---

Sweetheart, you’ve posted this to no less than 9 forums, and you got shit on by almost everybody in every single one of them except Cafemom, _even in the Christian forum_. Perhaps the problem is you. ---

Don’t get whipped cream anymore. It just waters down the flavor of the drink. Also, you sound very paranoid. With all due respect, you should bring up this incident with your doctor (or psychologist/counselor, if you have one). Tell them that you think Starbucks is conspiring against you. ---

**jashley** , I recommend you ask a trusted adult to help you with interactions at businesses and in other socially difficult situations. Questioning people on message boards probably isn’t going to help you much since we’re not familiar with your particular set of circumstances. Best wishes, and with that I’m closing this thread.
