I discovered a huge pet peeve of mine today. I got a cup of coffee from a campus coffee shop, I also felt like some water. Knowing that Oregon has great water I asked for a cup of water. Starbucks is always more then happy to give me a cup of cold water and even throws in some ice for me. Yet at the coffee shop at the EMU, not a bargain by any means, I paid 3.25 for a 16oz mocha, responds with the dreaded “that will be .10 cents for the cup.” I was tempted to ask for my money back on the coffee. I understand the policy for people who have not purchased anything, but for a paying customer a business should be willing to give me a cup of water. To top things off they put on whipped cream when I asked them not too.

Does this bug anyone else out there? What are some other restaurant or service pet peeves of yours?

Thirsty,
