oh please, there is no wait staff in a Starbucks.
You really think someone who intended to order but was waiting for the rest of their party would walk up to the counter and tell them that?
Literally no one would do that, including yourself.

I wouldn't normally in a Starbucks- unless I was asked to leave. But I sure would in a restaurant. I'm gathering you don't because you're so well mannered. Just plop, wait, maybe use the bathroom and refuse to order or leave when asked.

Well, in an inner-city Starbucks, where you have to get a key to the bathroom from the front counter, you may have to show a receipt or explain that you're going to be a customer as soon as your other party arrives. I've seen this in some Starbucks in big cities, but not too often.

Our local McDonalds does it. And so do a heck of lot of gas stations.
