What's the deal with those size names at Starbucks anyway? I mean, was 'large' too boring for these marketing geniuses? I mean, hello!

I worked at Starbucks very briefly back in 2006, and they told us that if a customer ordered a beverage using a normal size (small coffee, medium latte, etc.), we were to repeat it back to them using Starbucks sizes ("tall coffee/grande latte, coming right up! :v: "). I refused to, because it was just weird.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN AN EXCITING BUISNESS OPPROTUNITY?
Fanaticism, the insatiable desire for pumpkin spice, and misery. these are, unfortunately, the three great sources from which flow the teeming hordes of drinkers who, iphones hand, go to unload under the siren sounds of norah jones dumps more ancient than the world, watering its permanently opened unisex bathrooms in the piss and blood of its savage inhabitants, fertilizing with beans stolen from distant shores the strip malls they conquered through crime.

Creating disasters and running away from them since 1981.
Starbucks is ok, but the snickerdoodle cookies back in the day were delicious. I wonder if they still have those. Last time I had anything from there was in 2019 and someone got me the pumpkin spice latte. Was surprised that it was so tasty after everyone decided to make fun of it.

anyway yeah yeah whatever, can I just get a grande caramel frapachino to go?

The only thing I’ll go out of my way to get at Starbucks is the nitro cold brew. No other cafe seems to get it right. But it’s a 50/50 chance if a location serves it. And if they do, it’s a 50/50 chance they have co2 that day.

That’s my Starbucks story.

My city has a big coffee culture and more good coffee shops than I could ever go to, so there was never any sense going there.

they've tried it here and had a long time to pull it off but it doesn't work, people just don't want to go. There are a few starbucks but they're just full of tourists. If you walk a couple kilometres up a decently developed street you'll probably pass ten small coffee shops at least.

hey, it temporarily stopped them from making GBS threads up GBS with more garbage like this so it's a step in the right direction

definitely agreed on the new gimmick though, you can do better than picking through your dad's pockets for posting personas

Mine is consistently out of any seasonal flavors (PSL, Peppermint Mocha, etc) but don't put up any kind of signage, so you sit through their long-rear end drive thru line only to be told at the end they don't even have what you want.

I'll stick with Dunkin, even though it's operated exclusively by stoned teens who try to get me to leave before giving me back my card, or with only half my order.
