Starbucks has been forced to apologize a few times over the years.

Such as when an employee drew a Satanic symbol in the latte of a customer.

And don’t even get us started on all those stupefying Starbucks name fails.

But the footage above goes way beyond a mere misspelling, as it features a Queens-based barista named Melissa going totally off on a patron who dared to ask for a special straw for her Frappuccino.

As the argument escalated, a fellow customer captured the incident on his cell phone, giving viewers a chance to hear Melissa scream about the lady’s bad attitude and tell her:

"Get out. You’re not going to be served here. Period. Bye! Bye! Bye!" 

Melissa later told a local news affiliate that she quit her job immediately after the confrontation and that this was not the first time she was "disrespected" by a patron.

She claims the woman started it all by calling her names.

Starbucks is said to have offered the customer a $100 gift card by way of an apology and then also offered up an actual apology.

"This customer’s experience is not reflective of the service our partners provide to customers every day," a company spokeswoman told NBC New York. "Our leadership team is reaching out to the customer to apologize and make this right."
