VEN-TAY (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by converselvr
Is anyone else still annoyed by this? I stopped correcting people a long time ago but even my SM says “ventay”. Gets me every time

trenti gets me

This one gets me because then I think they said venti because it’s hard to hear and they get mad when they get their drink

I will take this any day over:

*gives drink order*
"Cool, what size *repeats order* ?"
" That'll do it."
"But what size?"
"Just that." *Drives up to window*

Roses are red
Bluebells are nice
I've already asked you
What fucking size 🙃
4shotsin 3 points 1y ago
Stg, I thought this said "blue balls"
Jadenvicious1 2 points 1y ago
Lol that would've made this very different 😂
Ok-Mycologist9011 3 points 1y ago
I literally say “Yeah. I know that’s all I just need a size.” They really have selective hearing
comrade_rj_ 28 points 1y ago
ah yes my favorite sizes: tall, grandy, ventay, and trenti
Vegetable-Rain7652 26 points 1y ago
I get a guy at my store who always orders not a grande, but a “GRAND.” LMAO.
if4themew09 13 points 1y ago
Grandy
-beam-me-up- 26 points 1y ago
This! Or when they say trenti! Like just say extra large boo
mrcupcake18 6 points 1y ago
Every time I hear this I’m like sweetheart where the hell is this “I” that you think is in this word?!Lmao
smilin_proph3t 1 points 1y ago
I find it hilarious every time I hear this on dto and I always have to make eye contact with my other baristas
pickled_goblin 16 points 1y ago
I don’t know why it annoys me, but it does lol. also when people order a “frappe”.
dallizzlee 3 points 1y ago
Frappe irritates me too
Webshooter38 2 points 1y ago
Technically frappe isn't a drink Starbucks sells because they have a copyright or something for frappaccino.
pickled_goblin 1 points 1y ago
exactly!! frappes are what gas stations call their blended frozen coffee lol
mrcupcake18 11 points 1y ago
Every time I hear this I always laugh because it makes me think of forest gump, JEN-NAY 😂
Hazel_is_Trans 10 points 1y ago
Can I get a large ice coffee


(Gets to the window) I said large
RavenMcG 10 points 1y ago
All the sizes are made up crap anyway.
converselvr [OP] 10 points 1y ago
Lol of course I know what they mean and it doesn’t make me look at them differently it’s just a small thing that irks me.
RayBun4 8 points 1y ago
"the big one. No the other big one that's too big"
Mean-Grass8935 7 points 1y ago
I love the immediate sense of relief people get when I tell them they can just say “small, medium, large or extra large”. Like I swear saying “venti” doesn’t make you that cool 😂
terriblescreenwriter 5 points 1y ago
It literally does not matter
tellovisions 4 points 1y ago
Who cares lol everyone knows what they mean
WallyBBunny 3 points 1y ago
There’s a lady that comes in our dt regularly and says ‘trienta’ it infuriates me every time I hear it. Last week someone thought ‘Frappuccino’ was a size. 😐
bearwytch 3 points 1y ago
I really don't care as long as people are polite.
honeebee8 3 points 1y ago
I always subtly correct them by reading back the order. Like, “Okay, so one VEN-TEE strawberry acai refresher 🙂?” 😂
snitchesendupinditch 3 points 1y ago
Ahh yes the Starbucks cup sizes; short, small, grand-eee, ven-tay, and trent-eee (or tren-tay)
Diegosnotrod1 3 points 1y ago
I get people call a size a tri venti (she wanted a grande?????) another called venti a Grenta
Electrical_Metal_106 2 points 1y ago
I hear Train-Tay also.! Lol!
Jadenvicious1 1 points 1y ago
Honestly yea. Idk why
Webshooter38 1 points 1y ago
Don't forget Strawberry ackay
twistedstarfall 1 points 1y ago
We now have a guy that says Vinny Latte. You can say Venti back all you want and he'll go "Yeah? What I said, a Vinny Latte" 😂
Tsunami_Eels 1 points 1y ago
pls I’d take “ventay” over this one guy who asks for a “Victorian” caramel ribbon crunch almost every morning 😭
Channano88 1 points 1y ago
I always repeat the order the correct way for people who mispronounce it like that; "so that was a VENTI blah blah" 🥲
brokenleftjoycon 1 points 1y ago
It annoys me a little but what annoys me more is when someone is ordering and they say small/medium/large and whoever is with them interrupts or condescendingly corrects them to say tall/grande/venti.
MathSmooth4506 1 points 1y ago
Literally hear it all day. I don’t think more than like 4 people say it right. It messes with my head and by the end I’m like ok how do you actually say it ? Lol
