Starbucks

Not all my posts are about kids, although when your 4 year old asks to go to Starbucks and gets upset when you say no, it may be time to reevaluate.

I went through the Starbuck's drive-through the other day. My window down in preparation for my turn, I heard the woman in front of me order her beverage. While I'm sure I don't have the order correct, the contents were as follows: venti chai tea, 7 pumps, no water, 3 splenda, shot of espresso. Now that I think about it, I may be missing something. Anyway, let's break it down:

venti = BIG
chai tea = some kind of tea I don't like
7 pumps = pumps of what? (found out later it's 7 pumps of chai tea. duh.)
no water = you can make tea without water? apparently, when it's in syrup form
3 splenda = yuck
shot of espresso = coffee or tea, lady? make up your mind.

How do you even come up with that? I don't mean to make fun of people that really know what they want...okay, maybe I do. It really sounded like one of the orders Ross makes up to be funny.

It took the Starbuck's employee a few tries to repeat it back correctly. I was laughing when I pulled up to state my order of a grande coffee. I felt so simple (and the barista, relieved). I can't help but wonder what that complicated concoction tasted like...but I'll never order one.
