"Boys will be boys" means boys WILL BE boys, and the implication is that the harder you press down on them, the harder they'll fight you.

This is what it used to mean.

It's still what it means too. Anyone saying otherwise is using it wrong

If the guys were to talk to her using the same type of compliments the girls used they’ll get fired. Baby scorpion talk is safer.

Last time I went to Starbucks it was two guys and I ordered the sausage biscuit and the guy turned to his coworker to ask if there were --
-- any left and the coworker just said, "YOU'RE A SAUSAGE BISCUIT!" and they died laughing.

That's a Starbucks I would stop visiting in the morning.

That IS what boys will be boys means. Its just been used wrongly, and that's what people remember.

Try Caribou next time. Both scenarios would make me head right back out the door.

I may be a girl but I think I'd rather hang with the guys. Scorpions are way cooler than fashion and stuff.
NachoPete
What if it's scorpion fashion?
You’ve caused me to imagine scorpions in tiny top hats and it’s the best thing ever.
Now I'm imagining them singing "Puttin' on the Ritz".
mikev37
who is this dude and why are starbucks so friendly to him?
RogueEwok
I don't go to starbucks often, but whenever I do, I find the people there to be very friendly.
People take my order and are courteous, but I don't assume they'd be like "Oh I love your glasses!"
HiddenSanity
Regular and maybe a tipper?
Ulthirm
Is that why McDonalds is so nice to me?
No, that's because your top shows more cleavage than you realize.
I am a very skinny teenaged boy in baggy pants and a sweat shirt. I doubt my top is showing any cleavage.
Don't be silly, there's no such thing as boys on the internet.
thepunchline710
I have instituted a no people names for pets in my family. Other than that, everything is fair game
Dostronomus
If Greg isn't a good dog name idk. Like, who wants a 'snowball'?
KillEmAlllllllllllwithkindness
Come on now, Todd is a good dog bront.
Todd was my cat!
I think Todd is a rather spectacular pet name tbh ?
waeraj
My cats get historical names and my dogs get video game character names.
WookieWookieWookie
I just named my two puppies after Irish beers because our honeymoon was in Ireland.
MissSpelledTattoo
I hope the cats' names also start w Sir or Lady for full dramatic effect, like Sir Isaac Newton. Or switch to Ms if you have a Lizzie Borden
Forty whacks with a paw, she did!
Ha well currently there is Augustus Caesar. And my dog's name is Mordin Solace.
Clever, the name Augustus itself is the honorific as well as the name! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_(title)
I had to look up Mordin, perhaps he/it is a Dr. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordin_Solus
KittyAmin
Really? Cause usually, regardless of gender, they take my drink order, make my drink, I take my drink, and I leave. End of story.
WyrmsWorks
Laaaame.
They smell your hatred of people.
RugAddict
Yeah but that's real life, this is the internet
happyrabbitzz
Sometimes, but not always, it can be more festive than that.
GreaterDog
It depends on the Starbucks really. I've been to most that are just normal customer service, but the one down the street has aggressively
friendly/outgoing staff that are admittedly way too energetic for people who haven't had their coffee yet
StillNotEasyBeingGreen
Be more personable! (I retract this if it's morning and your first caffeine of the day, then I understand)
JTechnopotheosis
no.
ImSorryFriend
One time it was crowded and late and winter and I was like "can I use the washroom while you make that?" and they were like "yeah for sure"
curezen
Yes but some of us like interacting with the people we encounter in life instead of pretending they're npcs and then dying alone.

I love chatting up local store staff; captive audience.
As a former retail employee, I used to hate this shit. My wife, who is much more outgoing than me, used to love it though.

I'm a dude. Had a tall twink black barista for years which made my favorite order pretty awkward. Tall skinny mocha.
LokiShinigami
We all have pet names for people, it's ok. But I can see how that would make it awkward.
BlindGardener
I just ask for a small, nonfat, mocha.
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
I get it, but don't see how the 'Twink' part is relevant
hashbrown5
Skinny and Twink are synonymous
Nevermind, I got it.
MeezerStandardTime
I don't get it, how did that make it awkward?
As Louis C.K. said in a standup bit the only thing that happened in that story was "there once was a gay man". Probably wasn't even his type
"I'd like a tall skinny mocha." "Mmm hmmm..."
It could arguably be describing the Barista
Ah, I get it.
khora
Yes, but that is at most awkward the first time.
Who says she ever worked up the courage to order it?
