Starbucks can kiss my ass.
Whenever I go in there to buy a simple cup of coffee, they expect me to participate in the “Starbucks Experience”. And if I order my coffee “wrong”, I get corrected by some minimum-wage-twit who couldn’t articulate their way home.
They don’t sell their coffees in Small, Medium or Large. NOOOOO! They have some pretentious crap names like Tall (which is small), Grande and Venti. WTF? Venti is not even a word – it is a Starbucks word – look closely at the menu, they have the word Venti trademarked! They made up the frigging word! And then they train their staff to not respond to normal words like, “I would like a small cup of coffee.”
They ask me, “You mean a Tall?”
Let me see – I’m looking at three cups: a short one, a medium one and a tall one. I don’t want the tall one, I didn't bring that much money – I want the short, fuck! Read my frigging lips: IT IS NOT TALL, IT IS SHORT! Goddamn – no wonder the poor bastards who work at Starbucks are dyslexic. .
And what is with these other Starbucks code words, like “With Room” or “Extra Shot”? How frigging pretentious is that? I even notice Starbucks Snobs in line practicing their order so they can whiz through all the special vernacular so, are you ready for this, they can order a cup of coffee.
I would go on, but I am getting hungry now. PEACE!!!!!!
