We stopped into Starbucks last night. Rich had a coupon and we were in the shopping center already.
Rich: "I'll have a large mocha."
Counterguy: "Vente?"
Rich: "Large"
One of the other counterguys was laughing quietly. We got the mocha. We left.
On the way home, Rich said "I go into a place like that to buy a drink. I don't do it to learn a new language. Why should I have to jump through their hoops to use their made-up words?"
Beats me. At least they never ask if we want fries with that…
