It's minor thing that makes both my life and their life easier. I don't sit down until my drinks arrive Having said that, I only ever go inside one starbucks and that is the one in the main road outside Oswestry because a) the missus is with me and she never knows what she wants b) its usually time for a piss Drive-thru every other time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I must be in a minority because I've never got a coffee and had to give them my name before. My favourite coffee was in Milan, generally I'd drink espresso but if I wanted an Americano they'd give you an espresso and cup of hot water to add to it to suit how strong you like it. Very civilised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You work in a Slug and Lettuce mate, making mojitos for drunk women. You are not an artist so no need to stand there putting on a performance David Copperfield would be proud of.

We don't use each other's names until we've been formally introduced and have known each other for a while. OK, I'm parodying a certain attitude, but nonetheless, it all feels a bit too "American-style overfamiliarity" to me. They can just as easily call out "Chocca mocha double decaff soy milk flat white", or, in my case "Filter coffee". Or I'll just stand at the end of the counter and wait for it. I once called Meat Loaf Mr Loaf on this very principal, he was unimpressed as everyone calls him Meat and wanted to know why I called him Mr Loaf, I explained that we hadn't been introduced and that this was the British way, he walked away confused and muttering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Starbucks coffee is very much last option, I’ll drive on if a motorway services has that **** man fish logo. They don’t need your name if you’re in a long queue at the drive through window so its clear;y some shit Americanised bullshit to help them sell their awful coffee to people who say things like ‘can I get a ...’. Arseholes that will grow up to vote tory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) When I was working I used to regularly go in the Bradford centre Starbucks. It was upstairs in the old wool exchange (lovely building), downstairs was Waterstones, so it was a quiet civilised place for a coffee and a read. The ironic thing was that the manager and I actually were on first name terms, as we'd known each other for years. So the oick behind the counter would ask for my name, I'd refuse to give it, and then they were bewildered when Rachel shouted "Mike! Your coffee's ready!"
