I went through the Starbucks drive thru, the guy on the speaker said “Hi, how are you?”. I went straight into my order without even thinking about it. He then interrupts me and says “HI, HOW ARE YOU?” I say it back, and he says “See? This is how humans talk. Now what can I get for you?” I put in my order, then drive up to the window. He says " I know you’re probably not happy with how we talked at the speaker, but I was trying to get you to be present and treat me as a human". Irritated, I told him flat out “I don’t know you, I’m not here to have a fucking conversation with you. I’m here to get my coffee and go, I’m sorry if what I did offended you but you could at least be more professional then this” We went back and forth angrily, and he eventually said “Go fuck yourself, let me get your coffee”. He gives me the coffee, we go back and forth a bit more, saying the same shit. I called him fragile, he said he doesn’t give a fuck about me at the end of the day , then I drove off.

AITA? Yeah, I could’ve at the very least humored his “hi how are you” but I know I’m not a uniquely rude person for getting straight into my order. I’ve worked at a drive thru and that shit happens all the time. I’ve NEVER seen anyone take it so personally as much as this guy.

TL:DR Guy at the drive thru speaker says “hi, how are you?” I went right into my order, he took offense to me not saying hi back and we argued at the window.
