    i think the "140" is the temperature of the drink...can't say for certain though. i can't imagine ordering something so complicated. i just stick to my venti soy no water chai :)
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    140? that's a new one.

    this reminds me of a new rule bill maher had on his show a while back:

    "The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a HUGE asshole."

    :p

    i've seen people damn near order that. one more reason to go to peets than starbucks, i encounter less of that nonsense. the most complicated drink i'll order is a nonfat latte. most times it's just plain ol' joe!

    I hate going to Starbucks... shitty burnt coffee and everything with some crazy-ass name. I always ask for their large coffee (no way I'm going to order a venti coffee), and they always look at me like I have 3 heads... "Well, what size?" The fuckin' biggest one you got, pal. Plain black. I'll put my own shit in it at the little table. That's why I go to Dunkin' Donuts. Give me an XL Hazelnut, double skim double sugar and I'm just fine.

    And you can jam that tip jar up your asspipe, too. The guy ordering his triple-double-half-and-half-soy-chai shit water can throw a couple coins in there, but not me. :D

    Half soy half skim? I can't imagine why anyone would mix cow milk and soy milk together. Why not one or the other. I like a soy latte now and again though my usual is tall americano with soy milk in it.

    I hate Bill Maher but I wonder if he borrowed that from George Carlin or vice versa. I got an email with that line being attributed to Carlin. (I know forwards are not reliable sources, I"m just saying... ) :)

    whoever said it, I agree though. I heard something like that today and I wanted to ask the guy how do you remember all that? Good grief.

    I got that email too. Whoever typed it up credited the quote to Carlin in error.

    My ocd friend at work always orders his at 140. It is the temperature at it is a bit cooler than what they usually serve it at so he can drink it down right away. No sipping.

    that is a horrible condition, OCD.

    How would you even know the temperature? I let it cool before I sip it. In the summer I love the frappucinos. And the passion tea, iced. The passion tea with lemonade is super tasty too

    They have their little thermometers to gauge it.

    and yes ocd is quite bad. He has some tough times dealing with it, but is still able to joke about it.

    my brother has it really bad
    we were at the bottom of the elevator of his bldg and he wanted to go check to make sure the door was locked

    I know someone who dated a girl with it. He wasn't allowed to wash the dishes :o (yes he actually helps w/the house work) :)


    and oh yes I've seen the thermometers. I can't imagine caring that much about the temp of my beverage.

    As much as starbucks sucks, no one has a better vanilla bean or double chocolate chip frappachino.

    Hhaahaha... I was gonna start a thread about this this morning. I was in starbucks and there were two male paramedics standing behind me and one goes 'mmmm... caramel machiato' and I thought 'it's strange to hear a guy say that' and the other goes 'what the fuck? Tara get ya started on that shit?' :D:D:D cos it HAD to be a girl and he goes 'nah, some bird I used to work with' :D I was trying not to laugh.

    dont u love all the jackoffs that go in there and order that shit..

    oh yea and pay $5 for a cup of coffee lol jackasses
  • gabersgabers Posts: 2,787
    I heard a new one today:

    Upside down caramel macchiato blah blah blah. What the hell is "upside down" and why would you order it? I really think some people pay for the privilege to be pretentious. And I drink at Starbuck's often, I just order a straight up cappucino or latte.

    The $5 is a bit excessive but the scenery (aka the female employees) is usually much more pleasing than that of the guy with the donut cart on the corner. And they usually smell better. :D

    I've got a solution for this. Just add at least three "fucks" and a bunch of Vedder "um's & uh's" to every sentence. It goes over quite well. They're not sure how to take you. For example, my order this morning went something like this:

    "Yeah, hi, give me a uhh Fucking medium (they love when you call it the wrong size) uh Cafe Mocha loca with uh some fuckin' skim milk, and whatever ya do I don't wanna see any um fuckin' whipped cream on that bastard."

    Makes every visit to Starbucks fun! Can also be used at McDonalds and Taco Bell.
