"Venti sized. "

I never go to Starbucks, but I'm aware that they use Italian words to describe their drinks. Since Venti means 20 in Italian, I'm assuming that it means a 20 oz. cup, right?

I'm not a snob.

No, but you are going on the word. She knew the Name by seeing the cup....lol



What bothers me about this is the fact that she Just happened to be outside the Local SBucks on her beat. Those places are notorius for being in areas where there is no parking available, and customers parking in yellow curb areas, generally the locals give it a wink and a nod bc they know you are in-n-out.



And BTW...Since when is 6'2" 200# HULKING??????

That sounds like a skinny guy to me.

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. :):)
