Is Stupidity Contagious?
Oh, good heavens.
Same Starbucks, different day, different employee, ACTUAL CONVERSATION:
Customer: "I'd like a 2% vanilla latte."
Barista (making random conversation): "I've always wondered... two percent of what? Where does the other 98% of the milk go? Ha, ha.”
Customer: stunned silence
Barista: “I mean, why are we getting so little of the milk? Where does the rest of it go? It doesn't make any sense.”
Supervisor (stepping in): “It’s referring to the fat content. This milk only has 2% of the fat left in it.”
Barista: “Wait, so the percentage has to do with how much fat is in it? Milk has fat in it?”
Supervisor: “Yes. Whole milk has all of the ‘fat’ still in it, and 2% milk only has 2% of the fat left in it.”
Barista (sounding stunned): “How do they get the fat out?”
Supervisor: “There’s a whole process they use where they boil it and then collect the cream off the top.”
Barista (sounding doubtful): "So, then, what’s skim milk?"
Supervisor: "Milk with no fat left in it at all."
Barista: "So there aren’t different kinds of cows out there that give different kinds of milk?"
Supervisor: "No. No, there are no skim cows running around."
I really need to get my family out of this state before it's too late.

LOL is there a 'like' button for that video?
Ha, you could have really confused her and told her how cows make milk ;)
Stupidity isn't contagious.
However, stupidity IS magnetic: if you stand close to it, you will attract more of it.
(magnets come from cows too: http://bit.ly/19NJP7 )
Please, someone take in a sugar cane and show her how that works. Let's blow some minds!
OMG! *headdesk*
Once upon a time, when I was a barista, I had a similar conversation with a customer. The customer didn't know!
