(but definitely not its last)
as written by an eyewitness
At three o' clock in the afternoon on opening day of the new Starbucks on Malostranské náměstí, the area around the coffee shop's cash registers was crowded with customers. About a third of them had already paid and were waiting for their drinks to be whipped up by the staff behind the bar. As each order was finished, a barista placed the labeled cup on the counter.

"Grande chai latte for Sandra!" A young woman in dreadlocks went to get her tea, but before she could reach it, an older lady muscled her way through the crowd and grabbed the cup.
"That's my coffee!" the lady snapped in Czech as she snatched the drink. "I was here before you!""Yes," the younger woman said patiently, "but did you order a grande chai latte? And is your name Sandra?"
"Yes, it is! Well, no it isn't. But my name is Soukupová, and it says Soukupová on the cup.""No," said the young woman, pointing to where the barista had clearly written 'Sandra' on the cup in pencil. "It says Sandra.
"The older woman dug her reading glasses out from her purse. She put them on and squinted at the cup. "It says Soukupová," she confirmed. "I was here first." The lady strode out of the shop, chai latte in hand.

Wow, that's so sad. I've had that happen too. Once the staff gets savvy about those type of thefts hopefully they'll over free drink coupons to the victims. Hope all is well with you all!
