Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : This was in a large city on the east coast. I work in the busiest part of said city in a busy office building working a busy job. Every day around 3 PM I will visit a specific coffee chain and order a very simple drink. I’ve been to this specific storefront enough time over the last 6 months to know that the man at the front counter, while kind, does not speak English very well; specifically having difficulty with numbers. 

For example: I’ve often times ordered multiple drinks at a time, and each time he’s gotten the drinks correct, but the quantities of each drink wrong. 

Foreseeing this to be an issue, while ordering 6 beverages I held up the number “two” with my fingers while saying “two lattes”. 

The man immediately seemed offended and responded, “you don’t have to point you know” 

I apologize and say it was simply a tick, that I work in finance and have numbers running through my head all day. 

He grumbles along and makes the drinks. Lo and behold, he only made one of the drink that I needed 2 of. 

I’m no xenophobe, but I made an assumption here based on this person’s nationality, and the assumption ended up being accurate. 

I’ve gone over this with a few friends (both Caucasian and others) and the unanimous decision was that I’m not the asshole. Thus, need a third party to confirm if I am indeed the asshole.
