It's like you have to speak another language to order something in there.

I DO, I DO.
People are like low-fat, chino', extra coffee, low whip, 30%cream, and ummm no whip.
It's like but you said low... I'm just lost.
Then I go up and order nothing coffee related, Vanilla Bean Frap. and people stare, like why are you here?? That's why I like drive through.
Although I just found out I like the Passion Lemonade Ice Tea.

I have never been to Starbucks for that very reason - lol!!! I would be standing there for like 20 minutes staring at the menu with NO CLUE what to order - and end up getting a plain old cup of coffee! It's much less stressful to make my own at 7-Eleven or a gas station!

Yes! The first time I was there, I was embarassed because I was standing there for so long trying to figure out the blasted menu. Finally I just ordered something that i really didn't want but cost about the same as a Mercedes.
They have a menu on line. Next time I go, I'm taking a look at that sucker first!!!

I think they are aware that a lot of people feel that way. I don't go there that often, but lately I've noticed a change in their attitude. A lot less pretentious, and overtly friendly. It's a step in the right direction.
I can now just ask for an extra large coffee without getting a lecture or a blank look from the Java Wench.

YES! I will always stumble when ordering the correct size.
STARBUCKS GIRL: Would you like a Venti-sized frap?
XXON_23: Uh, Venti? Uh, no, wait! I want a Grande please.
STARBUCKS GIRL: A Grande? Alright...
XXON_23: Wait, I just need a small?!
STARBUCKS GIRL: A SMALL? *sighs* Well, here at Starbucks, we call "small" _insert some fancy name which I can never remember for the life of me_.

No, I've become fluent in Javan since the beginning of my extreme caffeine addiction in 1997...I do however get confused with the grammer aspect and I'm not sure if I should say 'Nonfat' before I begin, or somewhere in the middle. I often wonder if those of the native tongue (the cashiers) get frustrated with my order, and use soy milk and black coffee to throw me off.

Nope, I hate coffee and never go to Starbucks so I never ever feel intimidated.

I know! It's like they say, "Would you like the mocha grande, or a latte del creme, with a hint of nut meg with decaff or regular? and that will double the price if it's a belly-buster, so that's comes to 6 dollars and 15 cents" and you get scared and think you have the need to punch them

Screw starbucks. $4.00 for a 16 oz. cup of burnt coffee....what a ripoff! Makes middle east oil a good deal in comparison.
