I really don't like it when people "secretly" do stuff like that. It isn't funny. I have tales of serving staff (whatever people want to call them) who "secretly" did stuff only to find out that the customers were allergic to it, pregnant, or other things. One instance, we kept saying "no, we don't want it" and the waiter was so adament that he "secretly" did it. When he found out why we said NO, he blushed of embarassment. Learn from this experience, asshole.

I don't work at Starbucks :) and I haven't used whole milk on purpose because of an annoying customer, I just found the quote funny. We don't use the Venti, tall, grande crap. I find that annoying as well. One man came in and said he wanted a grande something or other and so I just took it as a medium because that's what it is at Starbucks, he then said he wanted a large and that I should have known what he meant... :mad: I guess I should ask to make sure next time.

They's pretentious too.

Call me pretentious then :p lol.

It would be great if Starbucks were cheaper but I don't have a problem paying the price. If I can go anywhere (at least in this country) and order the same drink and 90%+ percent of the time it tastes the same way I'm sold! I go to Dunkin Donuts (at the SAME location) and order a much simpler coffee and it tastes different almost every time, I'm annoyed because I can never know when the great vs. good vs. mediocre cup is coming. I'm not above going to DD, but I also know what to/not to expect when I go.

Me, being only a medium-sized-(grande?)-pretentious individual, I've never been there. But my large-sized-(venti?)-pretentious friends think it's a veritable slice of heaven.

I drink instant-coffee heated in the microwave.
I'm a big fan of coffee, maybe even an aficionado of coffee if there is such a thing. That being said, I believe mixing cream or sugah in coffee is akin to mixing a fine single malt scotch with Sprite... Yuck.

Yack! I hate coffee anyway, but the thought of that is hilarious.

I can only drink coffee if it is loaded with cream and sugar. Otherwise, I can't abide it.

And yes, there is such a thing as an aficionado of coffee. Obviously, I am not one. :D

I really enjoy that this thread is now about coffee. Makes for a much more interesting read, no? :p

Also, I definitely read the OP's entire post in Steve Carell's (sp?) voice from Anchorman. :D

LOUD NOISES!!!!
