Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline
The company’s same-store sales fell 3% in the quarter, fueled by a 5% decline in transactions.
You're viewing a single thread.
Personally I resent how they redefine sizes.
I want a coffee I don't want to have to read in English to twat translation guide to be able to order one.
This! God damn I'm so sick of asking for a large and they give me a Venti (aka extra large) telling me "oh thats what you asked for"
You do realize your shitty size names actually have some meaning in other languages right? Grande = Large. Also 16oz = large.
That said, I think I go to them like 2 times a year now when everything else is closed and I have to choose between them and Tim Horton's.
Also, fuck corps and their decision to upsize a large to 20oz in other companies. Can't remember exactly when that started (15 years ago or so?) however I think the first ones to do it were McDonalds and Tim Horton's here in Canada.
Just makes me recall Super Size Me.
THe one or two times a year i go, i just say "That one" and point or touch the bottom of the cup.
In my experience most Starbucks workers will just let you say small/medium/large without questioning it.
I'm NOT calling it a venti, this is AMERICA, we speak AMERICAN. i don't want your frappe latti sugar drinks. I DEMAND my AMERICAN coffee AND YOU BETTER SPEAK AMERICAN.
The sizes pales in comparison of the redefinining of a coffee based drink.
