I was standing in line, waiting to buy a drink at Starbucks at OCBC Building on Jan 7 afternoon. A Caucasian expatriate who came after me jumped the queue, but what surprised me more was that the barista served him gladly. What was more galling was that the expat told the barista to "serve it to me at the terrasse" outdoors. The Starbucks staff not only did not correct the man on the fact that it did not have such a policy; indeed, the barista went on to serve it to him outside despite my protestation that Starbucks should not have such a discriminating policy (based on experience, Starbucks has always made it clear that it has a self-service drinks collection policy).
Are we still living in colonial times?
