Yeah, I was thinking "Did they give him the real version when he was expecting the starbucks version, or did they give him the starbucks version when he was expecting the real version?"

If it was the latter, he was technically correct if still somewhat prissy.

I know I don't like too much milk in my coffee and it can give me an upset stomach, so I'd be less than pleased to receive what is essentially a latte when I was expecting something more akin to a shot of espresso with a small amount of foam.

But I mitigate that by asking first how they make their macchiatos if I'm going to order one, and they still act like I'm being a jerk for trying to clarify before even ordering. Like, it's an ambiguity that exists so I prefer to make sure before wasting anyone's time or my money.

I don't have that problem when I'm in Europe, cause most coffee shops there actually know what a macchiato is and make them the correct way. But the US makes ignorance a point of pride.
