I live in the Northwest, where there is some sort of rule that says you can never, ever be more than half a mile away from a coffee shop. Coffee runs are twice daily occurances for me, and I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever been shabbily treated by male or female baristas...very occasionally, I've had a longish wait because I've asked for a specialty drink, or have been given the wrong drink. I ask for the correct drink, they apologize, and I get my order. No sexism, just human error.
