    I went to a Starbucks once and he started yapping all this terminology at me and I just said “a medium hot chocolate, please”.

    Then got charged four quid.

      you ever wanna really make their brain skip a beat

      ask for a black coffee in the biggest cup

      totally makes them have to stop and think and they always catch themselves trying to add something to it. I will usually add, no I don’t want room for cream but I do want a little room so it doesn’t bounce out when I try to start drinking it

        I wish I liked coffee to be able to do that. Then again, their prices are so exaggerated throwing the coffee away after the bit has about the same value as drinking it.

          i don’t get their coffee very often but back when I did, it was like $2 for just a huge coffee. I’d rarely finish it but would do the job. When it started costing more, I don’t go there much. When I do it’s with a gift card someone’s gifted to me.

        Their coffee is burnt tasting, why would you want it?

          I don’t find it burnt tasting, but for my taste it’s so sweet i can barely taste anything else in it. I tried to like it but ultimately it was just not for me

          Only when they leave it sitting for too long. If you can get a fresh brew its actually quite nice. That is a big IF though.

    Fun fact. Venti just means 20 in Italian. So when you order a venti hot latte, it’s 20oz. Which is not true for the cold drinks, which is 24oz.

      I was wondering that myself. Perhaps they went in the urinal?

    I have ordered a “medium” many times, they understand sensible sizes too.
