Your statement:
“You don’t address a cute, young, bubbly girl as “ma’am” no matter where you are, so whether or not this little shit thought she was being polite didn’t matter.”
Is contradicted by this one, wrote earlier in the column:

If looks could kill, I would have brutally murdered that barista, brought her back to life to clean up the mess, forced her to make me another triple latte to deal with the stress caused by manslaughter and old age, then murdered her again.”
