Not a story... just pronouncing my love.
I have starbucks Christmas tree ornaments :)
The only thing I will get there is a Latte and a Mocha. I really don't like their coffees on tap because they always taste bitter.
What the crap isa latte or a mocha anyway...they taste the same to me......like coffee with to much cream and flavor.
I have been in a starbucks a few times, the wife seems to love it, which is fine, it makes sense. why else would the metro/gay/female community flock to work here?
1st thing, there are only 3 sizes in the world, small, medium and large (maybe extra large but that is debatable). What is the deal with Tall, Venti and grande.....does this complete some metrosexual yuppie's day when they get to order in sizes that don't exist......seriously, the only tall that should be ordered ever had better have beer in it. Venti? Sorry I don't even buy beer in cans that vent. Grande? I have seen the Rio Grande river, live next to it, it isn't exactly large........
2nd, when I say regular coffee....don't bombard me with thirty question. If I wanted pumpkin in my coffee I would have asked. I said small.....you figure out which size that is in your screwed up metro tree hugging language, and if I cared whether it was columbian, bold, medium, light, irish decaf, or whatever I would have stated as such. Regular coffee black with caffeine...not that hard to figure out. Gas station attendants have been doing it for years and never had to ask anything but if I wanted cream or sugar. Which the starbuck's moped humper never asked if I wanted. they just pointed to a table over in the corner with these obviously sacreligious coffee additives that have been the staple for centuries..
3rd......4 dollar coffee is stupid.....
4th.....Just once I want to see an employee in there doesn't look or sound like they are tucking at the current moment.

Well, they call it Venti because it means 20 in some foreign language (I think spanish), and Venti drinks are 20 ounces.

You just lost your mancard for retaining and sharing that information.

A mocha and a latte taste nothing alike. You must have never had both or you would know. Yes, one is expresso and cream/milk... the other has a chocolate syrup.... tastes like chocolate covered expresso beans to me. Definitely different drinks.
I don't worry about the cost, just that the taste and convenience fits my bill when I'm running out the door to work. If I worried about the 4 bucks, I wouldn't buy them.
I make good lattes at home, but cleaning the milk froth is not worth it IMO.

Wouldn't the very fact that you live in California mean that you don't have a man card anymore. They emasculate you in order to live in the once great state...

Do they charge extra for the castration?

That comes free as a side effect to ingesting starbucks paraphernalia. They just shrivel up and disappear. It saves a lot of money for those who want to be transgendered.

Sir, you are sadly mistaken. A Venti Carmel Macchiato has 5 pumps of Vanilla, caramel on the sides, topped with whipped cream, and caramel layered on top. It is the ultimate metrosexual drink.
When I go, I get a Venti Drip with room. Usually the mild blend. I don't do it often though, as it usually cleans out my pipes.

I am shocked you didn't get the audition for Queer Eye for The Straight Guy.
