I Am Done With Starbucks

by Mitch Martin on September 11, 2007

Starbucks LogoThat is it, cold turkey I am off it. No more beans in a Starbucks bag to grind at home or grande drips from a retail store. I am so tired of “grande” I could punch a barista in the face. Climb off your high horse, accept the fact you are an American company, and let’s get back to small, medium and large. I hate it when some poor schmuck in front of me asks for a medium coffee. The reply is always “You mean a grande?” The person behind the counter knows goddamn well what the customer wants so why do they have to ask that ridiculous ass question? Grab the middle size cup i.e. Medium and fill the thing with coffee. That is like the kid at Subway asking “You mean Oven Roasted Chicken Breast?” after I ask him for a foot long chicken breast. There is only one kind of chicken breast in the Subway just like there is only one medium size goddamn cup in Starbucks. Maybe the fancy term makes people feel better that they are paying $4 for something they could make for less than $0.25 at home.

Thanks for the insight Captain Language. Even if it means large it is the medium sized cup. Why would have to ask for a large in any language when all I want is a medium?
