[–] echodot@feddit.uk 24 points 2 years ago (5 children) Personally I resent how they redefine sizes. I want a coffee I don't want to have to read in English to twat translation guide to be able to order one. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Routhinator@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) This! God damn I'm so sick of asking for a large and they give me a Venti (aka extra large) telling me "oh thats what you asked for" You do realize your shitty size names actually have some meaning in other languages right? Grande = Large. Also 16oz = large. That said, I think I go to them like 2 times a year now when everything else is closed and I have to choose between them and Tim Horton's. Also, fuck corps and their decision to upsize a large to 20oz in other companies. Can't remember exactly when that started (15 years ago or so?) however I think the first ones to do it were McDonalds and Tim Horton's here in Canada. Just makes me recall Super Size Me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UselesslyBrisk@infosec.pub 1 point 2 years ago THe one or two times a year i go, i just say "That one" and point or touch the bottom of the cup. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Obligatory "You're stupid in three languages" video permalink fedilink source parent [–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago I'm NOT calling it a venti, this is AMERICA, we speak AMERICAN. i don't want your frappe latti sugar drinks.
