Dunno. Probably not. But it's not worth the time or energy to deal with them beyond giving them back their two lattes worth of money.

Probably not worth it to argue indeed.

Though coming from a country where $10 can get you 5 lattes :), I would not give those money back. Nevertheless I payed taxes for that income.

It's pennies, but I have known/seen too many people who try to haggle extensively, who need to be reminded about common sense.

I get you, and agree on general principle, but I also have to consider what my time is worth. I once calculated that even a single customer service interaction cost me far more than ten dollars at my standard billing rate. If I want to argue with implacable assholes, I'll go pitch a VC or something.

Not worth it - exactly.

That's a great one. :)
