    What kind of a charmed life do you have to have lived for this to be the most disrespectful thing you’ve experienced? This person clearly has no siblings and was home schooled. Or maybe Chris is the son of a powerful Mafia boss.

    I probably wouldn’t be able to say that’s the most disrespectful thing to happen to me today.

      Website says only 120 calories, I always thought those iced drinks were way more.

      Glad I am not the only one! Sadly it depends on who makes it. I’ve had incredible and barely drinkable ones.

        I recently had a devoted Starbucks employee explain to me the difficulty in training new people on shaken expressos.

        They are… a point of contention it seems.

      How is that called an espresso?

      People make distinctions on sugar now?

      What is a blond espresso?

      So many questions…

        Yeah the name doesn’t reflect it’s true nature. I think technically it would be an oatmilk latte?

        Aside from regular white refined sugar, our stores sell light brown sugar and dark brown sugar. They’re not as refined and have the brown color due to the molasses that’s present. The molasses changes the flavor profile of the brown sugars. They’re used a lot in baking desserts because of the extra flavor the molasses imparts.

        Blonde espresso is called that at Starbucks because they use a lighter roasted coffee bean, as opposed to a darker roasted bean.

        They call it espresso because it sounds cool and that’s why they can charge more. It’s not an espresso.

      Mine was super separated, so I had ice water at the top and goop at the bottom, unless I vigorously shook it before each sip.

    That batista treated them with utmost respect. It ain’t every day that you open a treasure chest, find a mimic, and get smacked so hard you level up.

    I’m sorry … What tf is a “blonde espresso” and since when does it come in a 32oz cup?? That’s the real shame…

      It’s a brown sugar shaken espresso. The shortened words aren’t hard to figure out. Espresso shots can be made regardless of the roast, which is in this case a light roast (blonde espresso). Sure, less traditional, but you can pull shots with any coffee you desire. In this drink, there are several shots shaken with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, and ice, served topped with a splash of oatmilk. (It looks like the milk has mixed in over time of being carried.)

      A shakerato (shaken espresso) is a real type of coffee drink. Lmao.

      Also, if this looks like a 32oz cup to you, you need to open your eyes. 32oz does not fit in the palm of one’s hand unless they have much larger than average hands.


      Edit: the Gr apparently stands for grande. In Starbucks language: 16oz. Lmao.

        I actually prefer Starbucks’ naming convention

        “Grande” (large) makes more sense than “Medium” (between)

          You really want to fuck with a Starbucks barista?

          Ask for a large black coffee

          Always feels like a record skip when they are working it out in their head.

      Not much to get. Dude got asked his name, said “uh, Chris”, and they printed the “uh” on the receipt to mock him.

      The name is written “uh Chris” because the guy presumably forgot his own name and the barista was making fun of him for that
