I've overheard some pretty outrageous Starbucks orders. “Grande, triple shot, two-pump, extra hot, half caf', caramel macchiato.”
Gimme a break.
About half of that line makes sense to me. But for a typical Starbucks barista, it's one of 100 successive orders coming at you. Impressive, ey?
That is, until I make two simple requests: No Foam and No Room.
I say it every time. And without fail, they screw it up.
Asking for "No Room" should be more than adequate instruction. They should understand it, enough said.
Foam is tasteless - it's air, filling up the space with nothingness.
Caveat Emptor:
The glass is almost always half empty.
