"Do you mean a vente?" No, fuck you, you know what I mean by large. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. I'm sick of this shit.
What pisses me off is how they all wanna fucking make you say it. I don't order ventes bitch. I don't give a fuck about your marketer tryin to be cute with the sizes, just give me a god damn large.
i can't say anything. i dont really like coffee..makes me jittery and it doesn't often taste good. if i need caffeine ill get a redbull or something quick like the 5hr shots or something..
sonic has really good frapuccinos. sometimes when i'd pick kai up from school we'd stop by for a drink when it was super hot. they're cold, sugary, caffeine filled and delicious. i never really was much of a fan of coffee house style coffees. they usually tasted kinda overcooked and sour to me. give me village inn coffee, or even dunkin donuts. regular american style coffee. but when i go to starbucks i put on my "dumb hick living in a trailer in nowhere never been to a starbucks in my life" act and they don't bother me with that whole "venti" thing and i ask nicely for a large "regular american coffee?" they're pretty helpful and nice then.
Wtf is a "vente"?? Lol, what language is that?? :rofl: They have good green tea lattes, though. And I like the white hot chocolate...
That's a popular trend today. The salesperson dictating the behavior of the customer right down to the choice of words and even the way it should supposedly be pronounced. Reminds me of that old John Belushi sketch where he was the manager of that burger shop and kept insisting that the customers call it 'chizburger' instead of cheeseburger. Yesterday's comedy is today's reality. .
http://www.illwillpress.com/smlYT.html http://www.illwillpress.com/coffeehouseYT.html I work for independent coffee houses and I found this fun guy on the net about 4 years ago. He speaks for me in regards to this. (you'll have to cut and paste the address since I'm html/imbed challenged.)
i fuckin hate starbucks with a passion....if you insist on large they give you a fuckin huge coffee that is so big my cup holder in the car wont hold it and it falls out as soon as i accelerate.......assholes....fuckin yuppie serving dickwads... you hit a nerve
I can't stand the Starbucks mentality. I used to hire former Starbucks employees to work at our coffee shop and while they're nice, they're just little robots. The shop I ran was all about fun and sassy, which just didn't compute for them because Starbucks taught them to be boring and nondescript. Unassuming is the word of choice I guess.
Urban Dictionary: VENTE A word that reportedly means 20 in Italian, but at Starbucks it simply means extra-large Hotwater
Someone told me that Starbucks has a patent on the word viente, which is why other coffee shops aren't allowed to use it. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've never worked a coffee shop/stand that used it, and many like to copy Starbucks.
Dude, have you ever gotten your green tea latte iced? They taste strangely similar to fruit loops. Haha I think no one else uses it because they are thinking "we don't wanna be like the douches at starbucks." But maybe starbucks patented it just in case anyone decided they wanted to be as douchey as starbucks. and yes, I did just say douchey. haha. My dad had a girlfriend who was helllla short and she liked startbucks because the small size is called tall and with that logic, she is tall too!
heehee. i love anecdotes. they make me happy. my mom always said "i'm not short, my feet reach the ground."
