I think its just to make sure the server and the customer are on the same page with terminology. Sometimes people want a small t/a coffee at my work, but say "regular" which is the medium size.

It must be worse at Starbucks with the whole grande and venti bullshit so I can see why they take a few seconds to clarify.

I have the opposite problem at Burger King. If I order a whopper without meat by its correct name, "Veggie Whopper", they ask if I mean the more popular BK Veggie with the veggie patty. (They introduced the BK Veggie a couple decades after the Veggie Whopper). So now I order a Whopper without meat, and they confirm with "ok, one Veggie Whopper". I'm sure if they could do it over again, they'd name the Veggie Whopper a Meatless Whopper or something something similarly less ambiguous from the BK Veggie.

The Venti goes for 20 oz, so you can draw something like that:

Well I can answer the question (still the fr barista here), so as I said, Venti is 20oz (Venti=20 in Italian) which is aprox 56 cl.

It's for those who want the biggest size. It's not a mediocre coffee, it's a shitty one, that's why it's drowned in milk, syrup and other stuff. But hey, as long as the customers is happy to have a shitty coffee, full of sugar and milk for 5€, well I'm happy too.

[Anonymous No.6950258]

>>6950245
Venti means fucking 20, not 2.5.

[Anonymous No.6950274]

[Anonymous No.6950279]

>>6950169
Yeh but that makes no sense.
If there is Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, and I ask for Large, then give me Large, I don't need to know you call it Grande.

[Anonymous No.6950322]

>>6950279
I didn't say it makes sense, I just said there's a board with the price, with size written. If you ask me for a Large I will give you the venti, and make you pay the price of it and you might not be happy.

Why? Because nobody order a short-size, and we mostly sell the T-G-V size, so even if here >>6950179 I wrote the "logical" order of size, this is not the same logic for Starbucks.

I mean I understood that you don't care about the name, and know what? I don't care either, I mean you're one guy/girl in my day among 1000 others, even if I asked your name I will forget it 10 sec after you paid me, and if I ask you if you choose this size is just to spare time, and don't have to see you come back sayin' "Uh, I paid to much/ Uh it's too big/It's too short/or whatever"...

Last thing, I'll never understand how the customers can't read a single word on a board and just say it. But hey, if you're dumb enough to go Starbucks, I assume you're dumb enough to ask me for a "medium coffee with some milk and sugar, and could you give me cookie and a donut." It must be to hard to read some boards with the name and price. But hey, I'm really happy for you, you're part of that upper middle class who can sit in a shitty sofa, drinking a shitty coffee while eating shitty pastry an dthinking you got a really good moment in a coffee shop...which Starbucks is not, as it is a fast-food.

As dumb as Starbucks customers are, you're still the wage slave serving them.

[Anonymous No.6950341]

>>6950324
Uh no, I'm a student working there to pay my studies, I don't even drink coffee, and didn't even put a single feet in Starbucks before working for them. I'll get out of this as soon as I finish my studies.

Maybe I sound rude about the customers, but well, it's the truth, I mean I'm not even serving them, I'll take an order (only if we don't have too many customers in the place; if so there's one colleague to take the order, one to pick the food and 2 cashier), take the money, give you the tickets if you want it, and let you go to the corner of the bar grab your drink, next customers.

So no, I'm not really serving the customers, as we don't have much thing to do.

I'd worked as a waiter and has a barman, Starbucks share nothing with those kind of jobs. As I said, it's a fast-food, with the same as McDo' and others.

So yes, when I have a bit time or if I'm in the mood I'll speak with customers, joke and shit, but nope, I'm not really serving anyone, I mean only when we have to go clean the place and even in thoses cases; most of time customers get their shits back to the bar.

So for me Starbucks=perfect shitty student job

If you think Starbucks is exhausting well sorry for you, but basiclly there's not much things to do (which is why is badly pay).

Now, I'm sorry if I scorched a bit your vision of Starbucks, and if you were really thinking it's a coffee shop. And if you come in the shop where I work I'll be honoured to "serve" you a delicious half-water/half-chocolate powder+hot milk+cream+cocoa powder also called Chocolate Signature in Venti, or any other drink you might want.
