I'd rather they just say small, medium, or large then fumble over it, mess it up, and get a size they don't want. If its less complicated for you, its less complicated for me

Just say small medium large we understand what you're saying. Were not gonna laugh at you or mock you behind your back because you got it wrong.

i lowkey get so annoyed when people ask what sizes we have…. i just look at them and go “small, medium and large 😐” then they end up getting embarrassed lmao. i’m not dumb bro i can translate “large” into “venti”

especially when customers ask “what’s the TALLEST size you have” like bro 😭

Literallyyyy if I had a penny for everyone ordering a grande, wanting a large, then having us remake it, I’d be rich

There was a highschool girl who was laughing at her friend who ordered a "large" drink. Like, girl the baristas don't care so why tease her 🙄

“Can I get a large coffee?? I don’t know any of the fancy names😂😂😂😂” bro pls ikwym I’ve heard this 20 times today pls end my suffering

For anyone who thinks “short” and “tall” are dumb names for small sizes… those used to be the only two sizes available. 8 and 12 ounce cups, short and tall. Then people wanted more and more coffee so they added sizes but kept the original names.

“Uhhhh can I have a VONTI…..”

I tell customers all the time (when they struggle with size) we speak small, medium, large. We don’t get mad using those terms.

Also does anyone else get made when they have to make a tall frap like come on that is such a waste lmao like I get soooooo annoyed when I see “Tl” next to any frap on bar like what a waste of their money and my time.

… does this person forget we are human to and had to learn this for the first time

it just proves they think we aren’t real people and don’t exist outside of the bux 🫶

someone on drive asked me for a large latte and I looked so hard into their soul that their eyes started catching fire on the spot

I honestly just started using those words because they’re universal. Today I was like do you want a small size too? And he’s like what’s the size after that? And I’m like… me—medium. He was hoping I say grande

When someone asks us what our sizes are I legit just say 8,12,16,26(20), or 30

im weak lmfao

I don’t know where the myth that we don’t accept small medium and large as sizes. I don’t care what you say to me as long as the desired size is specified. Trenta is extra large and short is by order only

I just whip out the origin stories of the the sizes and people usually give up complaining. I truly don’t mind the size names.

Can confirm Barista’s don’t give a shit if you say Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large. It’s better than asking for a Grande and expecting it to be the biggest we have. Don’t ask for things you don’t understand.
