    Yeah but by then I'm confused and scared and panicking and if I order something that isn't coffee they'll wonder why I was in a coffee shop in the first place because I wandered in absent mindedly.

    If you tell them what you like, and they do their job PROPERLY, they will help you pick something out. I am always happy to help people decide, especially if they've never had Starbucks before. I think it's kind of fun to have that interaction with a customer.

    We have stuff that isn't coffee because not everyone likes coffee. There are coffee-free frappichinos (butchered the spelling!), shaken iced teas (that you can get with lemonade), and hot teas. Also you can get larger sized lattes with just 1 shot if you're not crazy about coffee.

    COME TO MY STARBUCKS I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

    Is this actually true or are you just perpetuating a joke stereotype?

    Oh, it's actually true.

    What's worse is the handful of times I've seen people haul their laptops to bars and start plugging away at their "semi-autobiographical comedy/drama" while perched on a barstool in the middle of the room.

    all orderin' a "large coffee" and they look at you like you have leperosy.

    but I usually avoid that situation by not going to Starbucks... unless there's nothing else around.

    I do hate though, almost all coffee places now do it, if you order just a regular coffee they take your money and hand you an empty cup....

    oh and then they have a "tip" jar. for what?? you make me pour my own coffee, add my own cream, and put my own lid on it. tip jar... that'll be the day!

    Do you guys ever run out of apple cider or apple juice or whatever you mix it with?

    I have one starbucks in town, and only one, that has one jug of the shit per year or some shit. Then when they run out, the manager gives me a cock and bull story about how 'caramel apple cider' is a seasonal beverage.

    Well, barista bitches, I ask you: is caramel apple cider a seasonal beverage or is this douchebag full of douche and shit?

    The only thing that you need for a caramel apple spice that isn't a 'permanent' ingredient is apple juice, and we always have apple juice, because our manager orders it.
