Honestly, at the end of the day, while other people may not have the same skin color as I do, our blood and everything underneath is still the same color.</p> <p>I originally had a very long tirade typed up complete with personal anecdotes that reinforce my many prior statements about how much I absolutely loathe racism, but I'm sure I'd be preaching to the choir about the genocidal, class war and segregationalist injustices our country has and continues to commit. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33350 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 23:15:39 +0000 decafgrande 33350@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Thanks for more eloquently expressing my thought, and for expanding on it, too. :) I knew it was interesting to me, but couldn't pinpoint the "why;" I agree with you, though: "It's an unspoken social code that influences behavior." I hadn't thought of it that way, and it's an interesting thing to think about. :) </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33349 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 23:06:29 +0000 dolly 33349@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@decafgrande, I agree. I don't think any less of someone because they order a drink that conforms to the stereotype of their racial group, I just think it's interesting and wonder what causes groups of people to order the same types of things, which makes it stereotyping and not racism. It's an unspoken social code that influences behavior (middle aged white women overmodifying their drinks, for instance) and the psych major that I am finds this very interesting :] </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33343 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:39:56 +0000 decafgrande 33343@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I've been fairly quiet on this thread, but I thought I'd put my two cents: I think this is stereotyping, not racism. Racism would be if we were to discriminate against customers based on their skin/heritage; noting trends is something else, I think.</p> <p>'course I just moved to NYC recently from AZ so the amount of diversity I've seen in the past has been pretty much nil. I think as long as we're not changing our behavior based on the assumptions we're making, no one's being inappropriate.</p> <p>Thoughts? I could be completely wrong. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33315 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:28:16 +0000 starbucks_chick 33315@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>This is borderline racism lol.

This thread is hilarious... In my store, it happens that a lot of black people get hazelnut coffees. Or hazelnut americanos. Hazelnut anything, ****. And "some ah dat iced lemon pahnd cake". Indians do enjoy chais, or mocha - a TOLL SIZE/WENTI SIZE mocha. Or a "wanilla" bean scone. Asians tend to prefer green tea/lemonade (remonade, no crassic) or green tea lattes. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33120 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 03:03:55 +0000 12345678 33120@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>indians love their chais, and their extra cups to turn 1 chai into 3 drinks. </p> <p>black people: XCR CRFs </p> <p>middle aged white women: skvls, 2 sp no foam (or some similar variation)</p> <p>hipsters: soy chais or any cream based frappuccino</p> <p>blue collar types: MFs or JCFs</p> <p>middle aged men: coffee or americanos, and they refuse to say tall grande or venti</p> <p>teens: PTLs or any cream based frappuccino </p> <p>asians: I don't fing know, because I can't understand what they say ever.

There's one guy who orders "FOUR LARGE THREE MEDIUM!" on the daily. No idea how he carries it by himself, wtf. Another from a Thai restaurant near me gets 8 venti pikes and 4 grande iced coffees, he always has someone with him though. Then another lady orders 10 venti bolds, I always suggest a traveler but she always refuses, it's funny...whatever. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33084 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 21:38:37 +0000 mrindieday 33084@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>"Caramelo" is Spanish for "Caramel".</p> <p>Although, even working in an area with a decent concentration of Hispanics, I never see the Hispanic-Caramel connection you guys are making. They buy cappuccinos by the dozens though. I'm not sure they're really aware of why. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-33081 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 21:00:36 +0000 Starbot 33081@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Blacks at my store usually order extra caramel (with conviction) with their fraps, macchiatos, and chai. Latinos either order pike or a frappucino (wth caramel, but not as obsessively as black folks). There are a lot of East Africans at our location, and they mostly order so beverages or coffee. White business men order americanos, bold, or plain lattes. Several people also order coffee with whipped cream or white mocha pumps in it. Women (in general) order ice tea or ice tea lemonade, usually green. I don't see as many women ordering plain coffee. Come to think of it, since I've transferred to Oakland, I haven't seen any woman order plain coffee. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-32530 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 11:24:37 +0000 karmatose 32530@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Last night I had a Hispanic woman order a caramel cappuccino. I KNEW she wanted a frappuccino. I asked her, "You said CAPpuccino, right? With a C?" and she kept nodding and saying, yes, yes. Then when the barista called the drink, it turned out that the woman wanted a frappuccino after all. /facepalm</p> <p>Anyway, I'm Asian and I love americanos and green tea somethings, too. ;) </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-32529 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 09:14:15 +0000 Chicken0rFish 32529@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>"GET I GIT A CARAMELO FRAP-POO-SHEENO?" -Mexicans</p> <p>It's not racist. Just true. They LOVE LOVE LOVE Caramel. I don't know why. I don't know why they must call it "caramelo"...and I don't know why they must also say "frappusheeno"</p> <p>Asians like green tea anything. It's less frequent than Mexicans = Caramel Frappucino, but still a notable fact.</p> <p>Indians and some Arabs do indeed like their chai lattes. We have several regulars who are taxi drivers, all from either India or the Middle East...Chai Lattes, every single one of them. All three guys.</p> <p>White people get whatever their fat heart desires. White bitches tend to get iced teas and skinny whatevers.</p> <p>Black people used to looove the African Redbush Tea. Obviously because it was 'from' Africa.</p> <p>This is the most racist post I've ever done. But it's also the frankest, and most true. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-32528 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 05:09:18 +0000 clownfish 32528@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>but you all know even though asians speak funny, they are nicer than most of your white costumers :) even though they dont tip very well.. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2589#post-32524 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:47:42 +0000 GaveYouDecaf 32524@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>At my store Hispanics always get caramel fraps or white mochas.
