I've been to starbucks a couple times, if you're not a dick about it ordering a "large black coffee, please" nets you a venti drip
MaraSovsFeet
Damn getting shot sign me up
UsuallyARabbit
Yes. Have some respect.

Starbucks: We're sorry to hear about that! If you'd just DM us the location of the store that you visited we'll be sure to correct this 4u!
InterrnetExplorer
No matter where I go I just say ounces. It’s easier. I want a 20 Oz coffee. No one ever gets mad that I don’t know their size names

Grande is a medium.
JCBalance
Makes sense. "Large" I could understand his viewpoint, but ordering the "Big" at any restaurant is a sign of aggression.
overcookedchickennugget
I've never entered a Starbucks, maybe I will one day but I don't find it appealing.

I honestly wasn't sure if anyone would like it, so thank you

Grande whoop. At least the coffee was good.
TreasonousCheeto
They call that ventilation.

Grande is not even big!!!

Just ask for a super large
tomatoboy
I dread picking up Starbucks for my wife, I'm a tea drinker and none of it makes any sense to me even when it is not in Italian.

Happened to me, 'I'll have a medium', 'Oh, we only have Large, Extra Large and King sized!', 'Then give me the medium one...'
t0mn8r
That is funny.
TheLightThatBlinds
They do it so you can speak another language when you order off their menu.

They correct me every time I ask for the middle one.

"You want sympathy?!? You get naan!"
apneax3n0n
as an italian i think it's stupid to say "grande" or "venti" as usit of measure
greggor
That’s great, but it’s descriptive. Grande was their original “large” size. Venti is a 20 ounce cup. Trenta is 30 ounces.
apneax3n0n
More than a single shot of coffee is soup

I get around the stupid starbucks lingo by not going to starbucks.

order grande americano, when asked for your name, big coffee
feelej25
Don’t all the sizes in Starbucks translate as big
TheSilhouette
I work there. The only ones that don't are the kids size (short) and ironically the biggest one (trenta)
greggor
Short, tall, and grande were the original sizes. Venti means 20, for a 20oz cup. Trenta means 30 for a 30oz cup. Super complicated, I know.
swenson19911337
Venti translates to 20.
fluffy4000
he should be so lucky it was only the leg
Conqueeftadore
Dude should get shot for saying “Big”, it’s small, medium or large… uncultured swine
BillogUncle
It's okay, I have two more

I knew there would be at least one comment to surpass the satire above !

fbutt09
Vente, grande and something. Ough….I’m not cultured enough
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
It's loosely based on the Italian language — Tall, meaning a "taller" cup of espresso, Grande being "large", Venti = 20, Trenta = 30.
Noctourn
Ironic considering its the first job you get after you major in English
calamarionastick
one coffee 3 cups no problem, here you go
Orcus424
Many try to correct me when I do that but I say I don't care. Normally I would be nicer but it's early and I just want coffee.
AgamemnonsMemes
We don't really have Starbucks in Australia, i think there are a couple in the east, but is this really a big deal?
BraveStrawberry
I don’t really drink coffee much so I’m probably a bit removed from the situation, but I think it’s just one of those things that bothers >
BraveStrawberry
some people. Starbucks uses strange size names (though it does have a logic behind it) and some people think it’s stupid or gives them >
BraveStrawberry
social anxiety or any myriad of reasons people dislike things.
WoodySceight
No they don't care if you don't use their size names to order. The ones they use are dumb though.
tigeroftheskies
First they had short and tall and that was it. Then do do customer feedback they added grande as an extra large. Then after more feedback
straikychan
I'm pretty sure the extra sizes came due to a smart marketing trick where you severely overprice small drinks to encourage spending more.
SomeDetroitGuy
You can still order shorts in-store and from a value perspective they're the best deal.
straikychan
By sizing up. Their largest size is usually the one they calculate with, the rest are all prized up
tigeroftheskies
They added venti (20 oz). After venti they noticed no one ordered short anymore so they removed it from the menu.
Vortain
I think you can still get the Short despite not being advertised (at least since the last time I was there).
tigeroftheskies
It's the same kind of legacy naming that leads to things like driving on parkways and parking on driveways.
Aikikp
I said grande at a local coffee shop and he looked at me said we are not starbucks. So I said Large real slow back. He was not amused.

crazywowow
Then he spit in your drink. Probably ... most likely. Definitely.
Aikikp
Nah the girl at the end made my drink. I watched cause I thought the same thing. Lol
crazywowow
Oh then you got the bottled spit. Yeah, they'll all spit in it at random times then add it to the drink of someone they aren't happy with.
