I think a more accurate Starbucks/chippy analogy would be going in and asking for a glass of water. "Why don't you carry a bottle of water if you're going to get thirsty riding your bike" (a valid point, but I've given water to couriers and let them use the toilets at the bar I work in. I'm not going to "laugh at their predicament").
But your closing line is spot-on, I really don't understand people who don't carry the simplest of tools. I got a flat yesterday and it probably added about ten minutes onto my journey, meh.
