Starbucks

[Gunny]

Well, then hold on to it better. That's the second up you've managed to have spilled in as many weeks, and it's always someone elses fault.

I don't spill coffee. That's one step up from spilling beer.

20oz perhaps, since that's the size of the cup?

Then why would small and medium be named tall and grande?

 

[Gunny]

What we need is that Starbucks torn down and a convenience store put in its place so I can get some real coffee and not worry about who might see me walk in and out of the place.

Shit like that can ruin a reputation.

Cause grande's bigger than tall? How the hell would I know? I dont' spend any actual time there.. I order, get, and leave.

 

[Gunny]

Starbucks sizes-

Tall
Grande
Venti

Two mean large and th other is Spanish for 20. What the fuck sense does that make? BTW, their coffee sucks.

Dumbshits. 20 in Spanish is "veinte".

I'm just saying that if the place can't even hold a command of language, then its a pretty good shot that they cannot make coffee either. I'll stick to my Folger's Columbian brew in 2 and half minutes through my BUNN. Their s no other coffee maker like a BUNN.

EXACTLY!!! Folgers Columbian in a Bunn.

Actually, I think its Italian, but its still a fucked up sizing order. In no universe could the cup they refer to as a tall could actually be considered tall.

Nah. That same cup at the convenience store is called a Large, the others being medium and small. Kind of makes it easy when you label things correctly.

I guess if you nme it something no one can understand, you can charge more.

As much as the place needs to be flamed, I thought you really went out on a limb to admit that you even walked into one. I woulda had to wait until someone ordered real coffee and say "I'll have what he just got".

That would have meant hanging out in the place and it wasn't looking good for ordering real coffee.

true--I think you made the right call--being a heavy REAL coffee drinker myself, I understand a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Venti - Italian to English Translation

tall is means alto in italian which is lowest and grande I have no clue! But espresso is italian well at least the starbucks form. Remember Paulie always got mad.

I share the G's embarrassment. I felt like a right dill trying to order a big coffee in Starbucks. I needed a bloody interpreter and that made me feel very uncomfortable. And I don't like poncey drinks but I have to admit in the Canadian ones they do this thing with maple syrup in a sort of lattice on the top, that's pretty good. But you still have to use those poncey words to order it.

I should've grabbed a big, big mug, brought it in and compared it to the ventage or whatever it's called and done the "that's not a mug, THAT's a mug!' thing.

Anyway even though I like the maple syrup lattice one I have to say that I found the coffee a bit too sweet (even without the maple syrup) in North America. Here we're used to a more European (Gunny don't lose it yet, I haven't finished) style of coffee which is much more bitter. At home I like to drink a German blend. I don't have a BUNN but I would definitely like one, they really do make a damn good coffee and keep it HOT and not bloody lukewarm.
