Don't you love it when you try to order coffee from 'em and they sneer at you 'cause you don't know their term for extra large?

Actually I do. The smirk I get when I ask for an extra large black coffee brings joy to my heart. If I've had an exceptionally bad day I will even flirt with the militant feminist goth girl for a little additional attitude.

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.
