    Struggling to keep awake, I finally dragged myself out of my chair and walked around the block. On the way back I must shamefully admit to stopping at a Starbucks and purchasing a Cinnamon Dolce Latte with whipped cream. I'm almost certain I'm hemorrhaging man points for this. $5.5 for a friggin coffee drink. Utterly insane.

      Danny: Can I get a large black coffee? Barista: A what? Danny: Large black coffee. Barista: Do you mean a venti? Danny: No, I mean a large. Barista: Venti is large. Danny: No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages. Barista: A venti is a large coffee. Danny: Really? Says who? Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now? -- "Role Models" Love that quote... Anyway though... Even if I was a coffee drinker, I wouldn't set foot in a Starbucks... They have their own "culture" in there, and I refuse to be associated with it. Admittedly, I did go into a Starbucks ONCE during college, because a bunch of my friends were in there... Didn't spend a dime there, and kept trying to convince them to go elsewhere.

        I'd say the only logical conclusion is that you're becoming a woman. But fear not, it is not all bad; with womanhood comes what's UNDER the hood. Prepare to spend a lot of time at home. ;P //L

          I think that confession is enough, your Man license is most certainly suspended. I must say, although I've never bought such a fancy drink at Starbucks, the other week I wanted coffee, so ordered one of their latte's. When I felt how light the cup was, I was tempted to ask, "Is there a milk shortage, you seem to have given me half a cup". When I got asked for the $4+ for the privilege of drinking half a cup of milk flavored like coffee, I was most definitely NOT amused.

          Also, have you noticed that if you're in a bar that's shameless enough to sport one of those devilish "coffee" makers, EVERYONE ahead of you in the queue wants some form of latte or other. Drives me bonkers. //L

                Jim, Starbucks allows people to carry in their guns, so you might have done better had you said, you ordered a coffee from Starbucks at gun point.

                  A Cinnamon Dolce Latte with whipped cream? I would have been too embarrassed to order something with a name like that. I have been dragged into starbucks a few times and I always order a regular coffee. Starbucks is so strong it gives me jitters, and I drink coffee every morning.

                  I didn't get any requirements for the signature

                  Yeah I don't drink coffee too often either, and now I'm WAYYY wide awake, and noticing that it feels a little warm in the office. I've also suddenly noticed how incredibly attractive all the women on the floor have become. Crap, I think I need to take a cold shower!!! :cool:

                          I'm a girl, so I can't say about the man points. Doesn't hurt you in my opinion. However, I'm allergic to cinnamon so just the thought of that latte makes me shutter. I like their frappuccinos though. I often get one at the convience store on my way to work. I found that non-Starbucks coffee houses hate it though when I ask for "your version of a frappuccino."

Barista: Venti is large. Danny: No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages. Barista: A venti is a large coffee. Danny: Really? Says who? Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now? -- "Role Models" Love that quote... Anyway though... Even if I was a coffee drinker, I wouldn't set foot in a Starbucks... They have their own "culture" in there, and I refuse to be associated with it. Admittedly, I did go into a Starbucks ONCE during college, because a bunch of my friends were in there... Didn't spend a dime there, and kept trying to convince them to go elsewhere.

                                      My wife likes their Chai. I don't drink coffee. Considering we didn't have a Starbucks until a few years ago, it's not like this place has a "culture" in Iowa. The local coffee houses have those folks.

X| 3500 miles for crap Starbucks coffee! Modified to fix the street the Starbucks was on! Still X| though!

                                          Struggling to keep awake, I finally dragged myself out of my chair and walked around the block. On the way back I must shamefully admit to stopping at a Starbucks and purchasing a Cinnamon Dolce Latte with whipped cream. I'm almost certain I'm hemorrhaging man points for this. $5.5 for a friggin coffee drink. Utterly insane.
