How long is your Starbucks order?

[billybreen]

Ok, this poll is limited to those who order drinks from Starbucks. Discussions of how Starbucks sucks (either by being a big annoying corporation or having inferior coffee or being expensive or some other whininess ) can go in a different thread, please.

My order has been growing recently, so it's now getting fairly arcane. My current drink is a 'triple venti vanilla non-fat latte.' Counting by syllables, that's 11.

"venti coffee" .. .and I feel silly saying "venti!"

[hc5duke]

me-di-um mar-ble mo-cha ma-chia-tto = 10
me-di-um ja-va chip frap-pa-cci-no = 10

Yes, I call it medium, deal with it Mr. "Barista"

Technically the first one should be 11 since I pronounce it ma-chi-a-tto, but that's like saying athlete has 3 syllables :-p

The only time I've ever been to one of their franchises I ordered an extra-large and the moron behind the counter looked at me and asked 'Do you mean a Venti?" I replied that I he knew exactly what I meant and that he should quit being a pretentious schmuck. I've had friends complain about the same thing happening when they've been forced to go to a Starbucks. No other coffee place that I've been to insists on acting this way.

Mine is ridiculously long because they hardly ever have what I want. I love to get a coconut mocha frappuccino, but only certain employees are willing to make it. After they refuse to make it, I make a frustrated attempt at ordering something else.

So I guess my first post didn't discourage Colchar's latest declaration of proud individualism. You go!

[Cavlaw]

Coffee. The big one.

No, I don't often go to Starbucks. When I do, and my wife is not with me, she must write down her order so that I may pass the piece of paper to the dude behind the counter rather than try to remember the absurdity which she claims is a coffee drink.

I'm not voting in the poll because I rarely go into a Starbucks, but when I do, I get a tea, so one syllable. Sometimes I'll get a hot chocolate there as well.

Agreed. I avoid Starbucks.

[Clipsfan]

Agreed. I avoid Starbucks.

And it's too expensive.

[wilson]

And it's too expensive.

And their coffee, according to best industry practices, is harvested when underripe and then overroasted. That's why it tastes like crap.

Take THAT, breen! We refuse to bow to your attempted oppression.
