Overheard at Starbucks

Woman: I want a small espresso
Barista: just a single shot?
Woman: What? a SMALL ESPRESSO
Barista: okay, just a shot of espresso right?
Woman: No, a SMALL ESPRESSO (getting more and more irritated)
Barista: ok, a shot of espresso... that's this much coffee in the cup (makes hand gesture)
Woman (interrupting): I don't care HOW you make it, that's what I want. a SMALL ESPRESSO
Barista: ok, a shot of espresso. thank you have a nice day.
(moments later)
Woman: This cup is EMPTY! I wanted an ESPRESSO, not an EMPTY CUP.
