Never bothered me, I guess. I love that "protesting" Starbucks is the reason some people don't use them, lol. If you want to protest, stop going! They don't really care what you call their drinks, as long as you're buying them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms/page/2#post-285438 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:50:22 +0000 BSB 285438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I do. I feel all sophisticated when I say I want a tall hazelnut latte! Haha. I do love their latte's so it doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms/page/2#post-285434 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:48:10 +0000 pinkcupcake 285434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been drinking Starbucks since high school so their sizing and terms just comes natural to me. I actually had a hard time NOT using Starbucks terms at another coffee shop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms/page/2#post-285424 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:38:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 285424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had sb everyday while in undergrad because it was the coffee place attached to the library and I was a desperate studying zombie. I hate that place now....bad memories and overly priced. I do go there on occasion because there is one in the mall and around Xmas time they do smell good:/ but I order sm,md,lrg because I don't know better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-285106 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:14:38 +0000 littlebug 285106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: If you have a Starbucks card, you can register it to get points. You load your Starbucks card with money, and just use that to pay for your drinks. If you use a registered Starbucks card, you get "upgrades" (soy milk, flavored syrups, etc) for free. After so many points, you earn a Gold Star card, which gets you a free drink every 15 drinks (I think). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-285096 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:12:18 +0000 littlebug 285096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: Ah, that's so me! My order is grande decaf sugar-free vanilla soy caramel macchiatto. I feel like such a pretentious a-hole ordering it! I used to just order a decaf soy skinny caramel macchiatto, but then got told by a barista that skinny cannot be soy, it's skim, so I have to order the sugar-free vanilla syrup separately. Pissed me off. Like, c'mon, you know what I mean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-285057 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:02:11 +0000 mrbee 285057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: what's a good star card? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-285040 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:00:02 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 285040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Also an addict. My gold card is nice and shiny and just waiting to get me all sorts of free drinks. </p> <p>When I worked in a cafe that WASN'T a Starbucks, I was the resident SB translator. All of the customers from the city came into our little cafe, and would order a 'grande' such and such or 'venti' so and so. So I interpreted for the other girls at work (and laughed because...who uses those terms when they AREN'T at a Starbucks?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284977 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:46:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 284977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to use the Starbuck's terms just on the principle of the matter. I always say small, medium or large and I know it pisses off the baristas at times.</p> <p>Edited to add that I'm glad to hear that others are passive aggressive about their order too. I personally prefer Pete's, Tully's or virtually anywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284971 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:44:59 +0000 mrsjyw 284971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, but in my defense i fully know that i'm a starbucks addict. my gold star card prove it, so i cant deny it. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284964 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:43:17 +0000 mrbee 284964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: I was just thinking, "Dang I'm not cool any more... I have no idea what a Jose drink is!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284962 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:42:32 +0000 cheert16 284962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oye- auto correct! Jose = those </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284961 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:42:03 +0000 cheert16 284961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them because I was a barista there in college!! Although I actually never go there now and there is one right by my house! It's too expensive (especially some I know how cheap Jose drinks are to actually make!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284451 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:20:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 284451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I use small, medium, large because I think they are a total rip-off and don't want to accidentally pay for a larger size because I'm confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284432 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:08:45 +0000 mrbee 284432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: The soup nazi had the best soup in the world!!</p> <p>If Starbucks had the best coffee, I'd definitely use the right terms and the step two steps to the side and wait quietly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284427 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:05:04 +0000 mrsjazz 284427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in a long line at Starbucks this morning and most people used the SB terms. The guy ahead of me ordered a large and I couldn't help but give him the side-eye. Haha. It's like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld...there's a method to their madness. For me it's the same thing as pronouncing Houston St. in NYC as Houston, TX instead of "Howston." When in Rome... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284419 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:00:16 +0000 Mrsbells 284419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh I see... makes a little more sense now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284411 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:56:09 +0000 Honeybee 284411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Seriously, it's much cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284408 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:55:25 +0000 Andrea 284408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: haha, great, can't escape!

I had such an annoying complicated order while pregnant. Extra hot, single shot, Half-caf, grande, skinny vanilla latte. I'm usually happy with a plain grande skinny vanilla. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284335 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:24:42 +0000 Mrsbells 284335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: The venti is actually is 24oz thats the weirdest thing why I dont understand their terms, because none of them match up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284320 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:18:11 +0000 googly-eyes 284320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually will only order tall so I'll say it. Sometimes I say small. I don't really think about it, but now that I am thinking about it, I probably say "small" about 75% and "tall" about 25%. Haha.</p> <p>I can't wait to get a pumpkin spice!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284313 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:13:57 +0000 Andrea 284313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I'm sure there are so many yummy coffee shops by you! Unfortunately, I am kinda stuck with Starbucks in the burbs. I did start getting McDonalds drive-thru coffee instead because it's way cheaper and tastes just as "ok". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284307 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:10:08 +0000 mrbee 284307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yah I don't go into Starbucks unless it's the only option!</p> <p>I used to love sbux too, especially the founder! Then I discovered that many places have yummier coffee! It was a revelation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284302 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:07:57 +0000 Andrea 284302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind using their terms. If I was really against it, I wouldn't go into Starbucks. That would be better pay back, dontcha think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284300 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:05:44 +0000 regberadaisy 284300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hahahah I do too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284263 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:46:16 +0000 DillonLion 284263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Haha venti is the only one that makes sense, since it is 20 oz!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-starbucks-terms#post-284259 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:44:07 +0000 Mrsbells 284259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad I'm not alone I always cringe a little when I hear people say venti or grande, because I just feel its too forced. I remember chuckling when I paul rudds character in role models was irritated by the term venti. </p>
