This guy is Kurt Meinickeprobably a barista's worst nightmare.
In a now-viral stunt, a writer in China has documented his attempts to troll Starbucks baristas, by bringing an array of weird containers to the coffee joint in place of a takeaway mug.
The man, who goes by the pen name Zha Bao, posted his adventures on WeChat, which were quickly circulated.

First, he brought a small Chinese teapot:
The size of the containers get progressively larger, as Zha Bao presents a vinegar bottle and a Chinese medicine pot.
Finally, he brings out the grand finale -- a big hulking metal basin:
Amazingly, baristas didn't seem to bat an eyelid.
Zha Bao said that the large Chinese medicine pot was filled with 3 Venti-sized matcha frappucinos worth 102 yuan ($14.82), while the vinegar bottle was filled with a Venti iced lemon tea.
The basin ended up holding eight Venti-sized lattes, or 5,678 ml (192 fluid ounces) of coffee.
The eventual latte, which had 35 shots of espresso, cost him 327 yuan ($47.51).
The Seattle coffee chain faced a similar problem in the U.S. three years ago, when customers attempted to order enormous drinks for free as part of their Gold membership loyalty program. The company has since emphasised that drinks should not be larger than 24 oz. for cold drinks, and 20 oz. for hot drinks.
