Thats 5 shots." and I was like "I'm glad you told me 5 cause I wouldn't have known otherwise. We only really recognize red eye and black eye" and she goes "ACTUALLY I've been coming to Starbucks for 20 years and it's always been yellow eye and every Starbucks knows that. Except for london for some reason." to which I replied "and apparently our location."

And finally that happened at my store. During a rush, this lady came in and she was like "Let me get a Venti SFV Breve" and me and my partner are like.... Breve what? and she goes "Just a breve!" so my partner asks "Do you want just steamed milk or a latte?" and she stupidly looked around and asked for a latte then went back to texting. "</p> <p>In the non-Starbucks world it's actually called a Breve, or a Cafe Breve (like Cafe Latte or Cafe Mocha). It's a variation of a latte. Half-n-half is NOT breve, it's half-n-half. It's the combination of the half-n-half with the espresso that makes a breve.</p> <p>This has always bothered me.</p> <p>Similarly Mocha is the combination of coffee and chocolate flavors, thus 'Mocha' sauce would ideally be referred to as chocolate sauce. It's not Mocha until it is integrated with the coffee. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=4197&page=4#post-70347 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 20:55:51 +0000 SbuxSkipper 70347@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>"big **** black tea".

And if theres a new person who's never helped him before or someone from another store and they say im sorry i dont know what your drink is, he gets mad and tells them ask someone else whos there, they know who i am, and drives away. sometimes i pretend like im new and im the only one there and make him tell me what his drink is. oh and unless its a girl handing him his drink, he says its not right and we need to remake it. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=4197&page=4#post-56812 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:01:53 +0000 KDH 56812@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Bitter_Latte, we call any size nonfat, decaf latte a "Why Bother?
