    Personally I resent how they redefine sizes.

    I want a coffee I don’t want to have to read in English to twat translation guide to be able to order one.

      This! God damn I’m so sick of asking for a large and they give me a Venti (aka extra large) telling me “oh thats what you asked for”

      You do realize your shitty size names actually have some meaning in other languages right? Grande = Large. Also 16oz = large.

      That said, I think I go to them like 2 times a year now when everything else is closed and I have to choose between them and Tim Horton’s.

      Also, fuck corps and their decision to upsize a large to 20oz in other companies. Can’t remember exactly when that started (15 years ago or so?) however I think the first ones to do it were McDonalds and Tim Horton’s here in Canada.

      Just makes me recall Super Size Me.

      In my experience most Starbucks workers will just let you say small/medium/large without questioning it.
