The few times I’ve been forced to go to Starbucks, I always make it a point to order a Medium BLACK coffee.
I keep hoping for a lecture that Black coffee is racist and they use some stupid special word instead of medium.
LOL. This reminds me of a story.
Not long ago I went into a local sub shop (not a national chain like Subway). At this place you have the option of ordering your sub on either whole wheat or white/French bread.
This particular location, in a very liberal city, had mostly Millenials working there who had numerous tats and piercings.
In a rather loud voice I said, “I’ll have a number 10 on ‘white’”.
Trigger!!
For the next minute and a half this female Millenial snowflake kept repeating my order out loud, “One number 10 on FRENCH!” “Here’s a number 10 on FRENCH!”
I kept an eye on my sub as it was being made just so there were no “additives” to my sub. But man, I was dying of laughter. She was so triggered it was absolutely hysterical.
I’m not a fan either - when I’m with someone else and have to go then just like you I refuse their choice of words and order a medium or large black coffee....just a drip coffee people in a large cup ... this isn’t hard....
I find McDs and Dunkin’ Donuts to be much better then Starbucks and much better value... cost wise.
