To want to tell a barista to (Star)buck off!

About to pop with first lo in a few weeks. Been really good all pregnancy apart from a few bites of a brie sandwich (bliss!). Hellish week at work and so went for a Starbucks after work with my friends and ordered a frappucino, ready to relax on the terrace. When I went to collect it from the end of the bar the barista, holidng back the coffee said, seriously, not joking, although if he was joing I would still have liked to smack him, 'Are you allowed to drink this?' I was so shocked that I mumbled something about being allowed coffee occasionally (Hate myself for justifying myself to him) before he looked at me doubtfully and handed the coffee over. Wish I'd gone mad at the time but felt really silly as was quite busy and I felt that everyone was looking at me. Worth ringing up to complain?

Thanks

You should have peered beadily at him and said "Why, what have you put in it?"

Everyone's an expert when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth

I would have replied- 'oh good, are you a midwife? I need to ask you a question about haemorrhoids'. I used that once when I was pregnant and hormonal, it works

I would complain to the store manager.

wait til you have baby everyone will share their "helpful tips". being a mum makes strangers feel they can comment on your parenting etc
