Man, the Mocca Banana Vivanno is basically Chocolate Slimfast blended with a banana. Its insulting to pay over $4 for this!
I actually made one at home for about 40 cents!
I posted instructions , they are easy and fast!

Ok so I have this customer who insists on ordering 4, yes, 4, mango sorbettos and putting them into a venti cup because she doesn't feel like "enough"! Now, she and her daughter (who MUST have the same as her mother) weigh between 260-280 lbs @ 5'3"-at least it seems that way in their car. Why the **** is it necessary to do something like that, especially since they come to our store AT LEAST 3x daily?!?!
America, the world's most gluttinous nation! And sbux will always Just say Yes!
Yeah I think that sometimes doing venti fraps for people. Specially the high schoolers but I figure it isn't my place to say anything. But do they not realise what they are doing to themselves?? Or do they not care???
Mind you I was too lazy to go for a run and had candy bar on my way home today so I ain't perfect either.
I'm not passing judgement, I'm just saying.
I feel kinda bad selling this to people, considering the healthcare crisis our nation is enduring.
Yeah, darkroast, but they are doing it to themselves. Nobody MAKES anyone wait in line at SBUX.
God, I hate to say this, but I agree with IloveSBUX again! O god, I'm slipping.
Don't feel bad about serving it to them. They are 100% accountable for what they put in thier bodies. Someone that weight 250+ lbs SHOULD be careful about what they are putting into thier bodies. The information is out there, if they wanted to know the calorie count, they can find it. Its the great part about living in a free nation. If you want to kill yourself slowly by drinking 6 gallons of Starbucks a day, smoking a pack a day, drinking a case a day, that is right, as long as you don't harm others in the process. There is no law againts how often, or how much you can get at Starbucks a day. Don't feel bad, its thier own damn fault.
Well, I guess I'm slippin withcha, parrot!
Thanx for settin me straight; I'm gettin' paid to do this and I can't be everyone's moral judgement, that's their business.
But while I'm here, allow me to ask both you and IloveSbux a quick question: when I have a pregnant who orders a latte or some other caffeinated bev, do you think that someone would be out of bounds for asking if they'd like their drink decaf? I've asked a few here and there, and they've thanked me for reminding them (they just forgot to mention it when they ordered). I just don't want to seem as if I'm imposing, just asking just in case.
I just do a casual "would you like that decaf" which catches the people who care but have forgotten. If they say "no" then it just gets dropped.
I have one customer who wasn't planning to go decaf, she was like the baby needs to harden up and deal, until her baby was big enough to kick the heck out of her ribs each and every time she had sugary caffienated drinks. Now she is drinking half strength chai!
DARKROASt:
we have a customer that comes in and orders a venti double chocolate chip frappuccino with 6p mocha, 3p white mocha, choc whip, and energy powder. This lady HAS to be at least 300lbs already. I figure it is something like natural selection ya know? They are slowly killing themselves and wed probabl be better off with fewer people to set that example for their kids.
And its kinda funny to watch them gain weight over time....maybe im just sick
Yes, shazaam, it's of epidemic proportions now!
shazaam, next times she orders that, I would just offer to shoot her in the head, and get it over with if I were you! Damn, that is crazy. My daughter likes to get the double chocolate chip, however, I only let her get a tall, and only once in a while. I have to say, they taste good, but man, I couldn't never drink a whole one, even just a tall, WAY to heavey for me!
