Okay... medium regular nonfat black with almond milk

And God help you if you ask a question to clarify, because that makes you a lazy jerk of course. (Nah... people are great)

You get grande

My favorite is always can I get a black coffee... then proceeds to ask for cream and sweetener, like honey that's not a BLACK coffee

"I'm sorry, what size would you like? We have small, medium, and large." "I said Regular."

I want to know what an irregular is.

I always reply “regular small or regular medium?”
KittyTittyCommitee 1 points 3y ago
That’s hilarious

Some places do actually call the middle size a “regular” but why do some people assume every company does? If you’re not sure the name of the size, just say small, medium, or large (or if you want a trenta you could say extra large)
Ziaheart 5 points 3y ago
And then there are places that call their smallest size "regular". But I have been guilty of asking for a regular size, myself. I corrected right away, but habits die pretty hard.

Fact. At Wendy’s their regular is a small and is what comes with their combos. So one time when they asked me for a size and I said medium I got waaaay more drink and fries than I wanted haha
TheBreckingBall 5 points 3y ago
Just hand them a short and SEE what happens. That was “regular” in the beginning!
BeetrootMandog 5 points 3y ago
Had a customer ask for regular and then return it because, ‘there’s no way anyone could ever drink this much. When I ask for a regular at my local Starbucks, they give me a small.’

Made us make her a new one, not even pour her tea into a smaller cup.

THANK YOU! This is probably the most frustrating part about ringing! I’m often inclined to charge for a venti just to spite people who say this. Gah!

When people ask for regular, get given a grande then moan because they wanted a tall.. that’s possibly my biggest pet hate
Lunatics_Apprentice 3 points 3y ago
I like to be a tad sassy and ask ‘which one is regular for you’ in a very friendly manner.
DirtyDarling44 3 points 3y ago
Omg!!! I don’t get that as much working here but when I worked at Bruegger’s Bagels I got it a lot. It’s also confusing because when I worked at noodles and company their sizes were Small and Regular. 🙄

My favorite interaction so far as asking a lady over DT what size she wanted for her refresher.

"A large."

"Ok, I have the venti, which is 24oz, or the trenta, which is 32oz. Which would you like?'

"What's the difference?"

"... One is 24oz, and the other is 32oz?"

"...... Are they the same price?"

" No... The bigger one costs more."

I. What?

"would you like a medium?" "no grande!"
shutupsav 1 points 3y ago
I just say, “So the medium size?” The answer is yes 9 times out of 10. It ain’t that deep imo
izziedays 1 points 3y ago
It’s like asking for extra
sweetangel622 -1 points 3y ago
It obviously means grande
