So if I throw a big cup of boiling water in your face, you're cool with it??
You would be charged with felony assault, not some trumped up nonsense manufactured by the cops.
I just spit out my tall skinny double white chocolate mocha all over my computer.
Not only that, they look at you like you have three heads if you just order "coffee". I bought coffee from a starbucks one time. When I was away on business and my co-worker wanted to stop there.
If you just order coffee, they use their pre-emptive snobbery, because they know you don't go in for all of their fancy jargon, and you're going to balk at paying their ridiculous price for a simple cup of coffee. My co-worker got a mocha latte grande or some other foo-foo crap. For the rest of the week I waited outside and had a smoke while she got hers, and I just waited until I got to work and got a free cup of just coffee that I liked better anyway.
I've never been stopped so much in my life. Almost every time I drive it I get stopped. No tickets, just checked out. I was told that the reason is because, with the confiscation laws, drug dealers buy the cheapest cars they can find. They don't want to be in something that the cops want.
Sorry, but I'm far too insensitive to indulge their pretentious games. The first time I went there, my wife ordered her foo-foo drink using the proper terminology. I asked for a large coffee, and the clerk went, "oh, you mean a ..." and I cut her off with "a large coffee, THANK YOU." Since then, they've always seemed to understand my order.
A Japanese Frenchman from Lebanon? As I always said, mixed marriages don't work!
LOL...call me snob, then. I love a venti caramel macchiato. :)
On topic: how disgusting, and appalling. That poor woman.
That should of read: "A Jap Frog Eirab"!
It's a matter of perspective, I guess. For example, I'm 5'3 and (usually) 100lbs; 6'2 and 200lbs seems pretty big...that's how big my hubby is. I wouldn't call him skinny..athletic is more like it. :)
Hot coffee is a deadly weapon???? WE'RE DOOMED!!!!! No, really.
I'd sue Starbucks/... that's where the $$ is.
The coffee was TOO HOT !!
Starbucks has an outlet in the local Fred Meyer's store and I get a cup of Grande size, black coffee, there on Saturdays.
The grocery carts have cup holders.
Tall is 12 oz, Grande is 16 oz and Venti is 20 oz ~ I think. :):)
The Grande (16 oz) costs $1.60.
I've known Lebanese male Christians though, they generally don't engage in this type of behavior towards authority and women...if they did..I would hesitate to call them Christian!
With that kind of behaviour on display....he might not be Muslim but he isn't Christian either!
