ok, what the fuck is up with the starbucks people in los angeles? so i have never subscribed to the brain washing of the franchise in their concept of naming the smallest drink a TALL and a medium a grande, which is really large in french is it? i go by the much more pedestrian coding system of: small/medium/large. simple, no?
WELL in nyc i was easily able to get away with it, and the barista/actor would convert my order which is usually a "large non-fat two-pump iced mocha" into a "venti non-fat two-pump mocha, whipped cream?" i was always impressed much like i am when i go to montreal and order a combo meal at wendy's and the checkout person speaks into the mic IN FRENCH. oh how much better my single combo tastes when processed IN FRENCH.
but the starbucks barista/actor, a french canadian s/he is not. and lately around these parts i have been getting ATTITUDE from them.
"large iced americano please"
"i'm sorry? LARGE? ummm...."
"yes, large"
"ok, ummm"
"THAT ONE" (pointing to cup)
"OH, a VENTI!!!! haaaa!!!"
another time:
"large iced americano please"
"ok, VENTI americano"
"thats all"
"you said VENTI right?"
"no, i said large."
"oh, haha, well a venti IS a large"
seriously, go fuck yourself, its 520AM and i am getting to work. JUST GIVE ME MY GODDAMN SHOTS OF ESPRESSO.
