i refuse to use starbucks size names

[ElFenix]

I was going to post a new thread but didn't want the dreaded repost police to come after me.

This used to drive me crazy until I finally succumbed and now I order tall or grande, deep down inside I still prefer small, medium, and large. Nope I never order vente or whatever it's called.

Instead you get the necro police

Now, stop with the pretentious bullshit. I also like how they're copying Maserati's naming convention. Instead of calling it a 20 ounce drink, they call it "venti". Or, in the case of Maserati, "quattroporte" - 4 doors.

small, medium, and large, thank you very much.

Exactly how I order. Just feel silly using their size naming convention.

Thanks for the necro.

I would like to post that I agree with OP.

There are times over the years I needed to meet someone at a Starbucks - I always order "small" but I noticed in the last year or so they don't correct me any more.

That weird I call them the peewee, the intentionally give no size so they assume a medium and just keep repeating chocolate mocha until they make a medium chocolate mocha, and the big jumbo wombo coffee wambo.

Fuckin Gonuts

If you don't make coffee this way...

With beans hand picked by Colombian slave children, and served with Serbian donkey milk... Your doing it wrong.

 

[Smoblikat]

I dont know of a coffee place that doesnt use special names for their sizes.

Hate to break it to you, but the "small, medium, large" names have been terminated.

Dunks has an S/M/L/XL

 

[RossMAN]

I make coffee at home. They have this thing now called a 'coffee maker' that literally just makes you coffee for a fraction of the price of a shop. Must be new, because they're not popular.

But jokes aside, starbucks names for everything are beyond stupid. I don't go there because of it.

hipster.

Instead you get the necro police

Do I at least get a phone call? I'd like to call my ATOT attorney.

 

[Oyeve]

I always say my name is "bueller".

 

[sdifox]

Is Elfenix still drinking Starbucks?
