kaejnotigen, apparently replies are no longer working for me, but i will answer you nonetheless!
at starbucks we use a bit of a unique size system, which in all honesty can serve as more of a hindrance most of the time. they are as follows:
HOT beverages (from smallest to largest) - short (typically used to hold espresso shots), tall (small), grande (medium), and venti (large).
COLD beverages (from smallest to largest) - tall (small), grande (medium), venti (large), trenta (extra large).
occasionally we do have specials for “mini” frappuccinos (just get a tall to be honest, it’s usually less than a dollar more for more product).
now I get it, it took me awhile to get this all figured out when i first started getting stuff from starbucks. i also understand that some people don’t go to starbucks very often, are visiting from another country, have language barriers, or are genuinely confused/curious.
HOWEVER, i am specifically a little irritated by people who come into our store, obviously KNOW our sizes/system and go out of their way to tell us their little nugget of “knowledge” and do so in typically a rude or condescending way. like yeah, i know, our sizes might not make the most sense, but good lord restrain yourself.
