Gah, I loathe starbucks, as it represents this elitist coffee-shop attitude and style of life that people get into.
If I want a coffee, I want a coffee. If I want it large, I say large. I don't know why they have to change it to "Venti".
And a person who works the counter at starbucks is no longer just that. They are a "Barista". They make bloody coffee.
Why call them a Barista? To make the college drop-out with the 1200 piercings on their face, who's making my coffee (I think it's coffee) feel better about themselves? And that gives them the right to smirk at me when I say I want a large coffee, then correct me and say "Oh, you mean a venti blah blah roast".....
I need the coffee to keep from killing people after the coffee shop experience.
