For any real coffee hoser is sucks to not be her.
"Coffee" and "Starbucks" are mutually exclusive. Coffee is a hot, thick, BLACK liquid served in a white china mug. It is not flavored (Except for coffee) and the only ingredients are coffee beans and hot water. Anything else is not coffee, it's a chemical experiment!
You can actually get that at starbucks. You just have to ask.
The last time I went in there (because there was NO other option) and asked for a "Large, black coffee" you'd have thought I just walked into a Mosque and asked for a bacon sandwich!
You don't speak Starbucks, thats the problem. Being unolingual can be quite trying for those of that are bilingual. Here is a little translation lesson for you.
Starbucks 101......Ordering Basic Coffee
For ordering basic coffee, beyond specifying the size you want, you will need to tell the server whether you want regular or decaffeinated coffee. If you do not say decaf, they will assume that you want regular. If you intend to add cream or milk to your coffee, say with room for cream, or simply, with room. Some servers automatically leave room; if you want a full cup, say no room. The basic coffee served is a medium roast coffee called Pike Place, but Starbucks offers other varieties as well. Read the list of roasts above the counter ahead of time, because they may not ask you which you would like. Finally, if you are very particular about the freshness of your coffee, you can ask before you order, “When was the coffee brewed?” If it has been a long while, they may offer to make a fresh batch; you will have to wait a few minutes for this new batch to brew. Once you have your coffee, you will find milk, cream (marked “half and half”), and sweeteners on a nearby counter.
When you order, say the
size you want first, then give the
name of the drink, and finally add the
special instructions last.
Example basic coffee order:
“I would like a tall decaf coffee with room.”
