At first, this blurb on BloggingStocks seems stupid:

Starbucks scandal strikes Olsen sisters

MSNBC reports on an earth-shattering scandal sure to make heads roll at Starbucks (NYSE: SBUX). Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been ordering Grande nonfat lattes from their favorite New York City West Village Starbucks. However, a barista there has reportedly been serving the lattes with whole milk.

According to a source quoted by MSNBC, "the barista thought the Olsens were too thin, so whenever they ordered their usual drink, he would replace the skim milk with full-fat." The Olsen's representative commented: "This is ridiculous."

At first, second, and third actually.

But then I thought about this: "the barista thought the Olsens were too thin, so whenever they ordered their usual drink, he would replace the skim milk with full-fat."

So this guy took it upon himself to change their order based on what he thought was right for them?

What if they had high cholesterol, and had to have skim milk so as to avoid saturated fats?

Was he also swapping out regular milk for skim for people he thought were too fat?

How about not giving sugary drinks to overweight people so they don't develop diabetes?

Or switching regular brew for decaf if he thought someone looked like they had hypertension? Since he was clearly a medical expert.

Thanks, barista guy, for knowing better than I do what's best for me. Geez, next some pharmacist will tell me I can't have a birth control prescription... Oh wait.
