Starbucks employees

[dainthomas]

Let me preface this by saying that I usually go to either Coffee People (local chain), or a local bookstore/coffee shop to satisfy my caffeine cravings. So anyway, we just finished a project at work, and my boss gives us all Starbucks gift cards. I go in there today and ask for my usual small double latte.

Chick behind counter: Can I get something started for you?
dainthomas: I'd like a small double latte.
Chick behind counter: Tall?
dainthomas: Huh?
Chick behind counter: Tall double latte?
dainthomas: SMALL double latte.
Chick behind counter: Tall is our smallest size.
dainthomas: Umm, OK then.

So why the hell, if she knew what I meant, could she not have just made me a friggin' small and left me in peace? I don't want a friggin' conversation, I just want my coffee. Does she really make enough to care? And why is Starbucks too cool to use the normal sizing system that 99% of the world uses?


Cliffs:

1. I want a small coffee.
2. Starbucks employee corrects me.
3. My non-caffeinated brain can't compute.
4. Starbucks names are stupid.

Screw them and their names. I always order a "small, medium, or large". I'm not kow towing to their stupid slang.

What are their sizes again.

Tall, Venti and what?

 

[mattocs]

crappy rant

haha, just like the Tom Leykis subject yesterday about Starbucks having the SLOWEST service anywhere! You can't just go in and order something - you are forced to have a conversation.

And they have somehow made their coffee so women HAVE TO drink STARBUCKS. Can't be Coffee Bean, Tully's, McDonalds, etc, it has to be starbucks!

it was a great topic.

wow, did it really bug you THAT much that she just wanted to confirm with you about the cup size? Are you that insecure that you can't stand a little person-to-person conversation? I mean, after you got your coffe, did you think to yourself "Jeez why did she talk to me...I just want to be left alone. OH SNAP! I have something to post about on ATOT...a rant nonetheless! I can't wait!"

You = tool or douche bag...either fits you.

I just stay away from Starbucks (and coffee in general) altogether. Much cheaper that way at least.

I hate Starbuck's cup size names too, why can't they just use small, medium, large like everyone else?
