that " entitled customer base" probably expects a whole gallon of gas at the gas station and a whole gallon of ice cream in their gallon containers too.

They won't stop standing in line for over-hyped, over-priced "coffee" though.

I'm with Bill on this one. If I buy a gallon of something or 16oz. of something I expect to get it.

BTW: I wouldn't know what get if I went there because I've never been to a Starbucks.
Say, "I'd like a cup small coffee." Pay them $1.85 (around here) and skedaddle. I usually get a large (Venti) for $2.45.
I'm a Peet's guy, which is probably why I never run into you.

The best solution is to just not patronize Starbucks.

I do not have a Starbucks habit but occasionally I'll treat myself when I don't have another way to get my evening coffee....
My drink is a grande cappucino, "a little wet." About half the time I get it too wet so my complaint is more likely to be that the cup is too full.....


So c'mon, gray, I know you guys have to have some sort of thing about what type of person orders which drink.... so what does this say about me? Or maybe I don't want to know....

Mist people seem to pour some of their coffee into the trash receptacle to make room. I'm SURE that's annoying for the workers who have to maintenance that.

that's why we ask customers if they'd like us to leave room for cream in the cup. of course one person's not enough room is another person's hey you shorted me coffee. and we double bag all trash to help deal with the liquid dumped into receptacles.

Verona is my favorite core coffee, also.
I almost never buy coffee at a coffee place, but I did Thursday morning, and the barista at Starbuck's DID ask if I wanted some room for milk/cream. She was cute, and VERY VERY sweet. I'll remember that location.

Dude, I'm a 50/50 Starbucks - Peets split. My favorite is Major Dickson's Blend (The Major) I haven't gotten all into the Philz and Blue Bottles. They want a lot for a tiny cup of coffee. Something that's grown out of the ground.

Tsk. You people and your drug addictions. I suggest rehab for one and all!

You CAN live without coffee!! :devil:

naww! nothing special about wet cappuccino drinkers. there is a special place in barista hell for those who order no foam soy lattes, though.

even after 7 years i suck at cappuccinos and if a barista who is better at it than me is snagable i'll ask them to step in and make the drink.

What makes cappuccinos so hard?

a good cappuccinos is mostly foam. my milk steaming works fine for lattes but i just can't get enough foam for a cappuccino and when i pour it there is too much steamed milk. you'd probably be okay with it since you like them wet but they might be too wet for you even. a good cappuccino should almost feel like there's nothing in the cup when you pick it up. i always compliment my partners when they make a particularly good one as i appreciate their technique.
