I walked into Starbucks today and asked for a large coffee. And I swear to God, the guy behind the counter said, “A large what?”
Was there supposed to be a punchline, im quite confuzzed. Can any one explain this thread to me?
For what it’s worth, Bob, I got it. In fact, it’s one of my husband’s pet peeves. You’d think that buying coffee in a freaking coffee shop would be easy, eh?
I’m sure the Guy Behind Counter meant that asking for “a coffee” in Starbucks is like going to a deli and asking for “a sandwich”. There are eleven million different ways to order a Starbuck’s coffee. In fact, no one calls it "Starbucks coffee any more; they just call it “Starbucks”. So he wanted clarification on size, flavor, and so on.
He already stated the desired size. All the guy behind the counter should have had to ask would be whether he wants it dark.
I know what he meant. He meant, “I don’t understand the word coffee, cause I’m too ‘hip’. I only understand ‘latte’ or ‘esspresso’, because I’m a loser!”
Sorry bout that, I’m just a little angry at every little thing right now. [sub] I think I’ll go back to the Pit now[/sub]
