Has anyone actually been corrected for ordering a large? I rarely get Starbucks because I actually enjoy the taste of coffee, but every barista I've had couldn't give less of a shit when I ordered a large coffee.

The only time I get weird looks is when I say no cream or sugar.

They give exactly zero shits

They also don't care if you tell them the name for the order is Spiderman, and they'll announce spiderman when they bring it to the pick up area

I don't go often or out of my own volition but the times I've been they never say anything and when they do it's just repeating my order back with their size terms instead.

I order by fluid oz everywhere including Starbucks and it's been a great experience

I don't know if Karanbir Singh qualifies for White People Twitter, does he?

[–] Ambiorickx@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

White isn’t a color, it’s a state of mind

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He's probably Canadian.

... the very definition of whiteness. ???

Wouldn't he have gone to Tim's instead of Starbucks?

[–] pickman_model@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I personally avoid Tim's like the plague. If no other choice is available, Starbucks it is.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Tim's is balls

Tbf, saying "I'd like a big coffee" isn't really a thing. A large coffee sure, but a big coffee? He got what he deserved 😤

Fair…, trade marks must be protected, it’s literally stealing from the company.

"Yeah. "Large" is large. In fact, "tall" is large, and "grande" is Spanish for large. "Venti" is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations! You're stupid in three languages."

[–] fictitiousexistence@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I always say "the largest one you have."

"No, that's too large"
