those people aren't flying by the seat of their pants. they just live in harmony with those around them. they don't feel the need to cause trouble because some thing happens.

How is it causing trouble to say "excuse me, I had a latte with my order. Thanks!!"??? I'm polite about it and I wait ample time to make sure they truly forgot and aren't just behind. Hell, usually I'm actually approached by one of the employees when I'm just standing there waiting for a prolonged period of time, not the other way around.

But I only order 2 things. When I'm missing one of the only two items I paid for, I have a tendency to speak up. It doesn't make me an asshole. Believe it or not, there are polite ways you can indicate that you are missing half your order.

I actually don't correct them if they give me 2 incorrect items, so long as they are in the same category of what I wanted (a food and a drink item)...happens frequently. It's when I'm missing a category of item that I ask for it.
