K ordered at Starbucks for the first time yesterday, I told him what to ask for before hand in SB speak (two grande lattes please) and at the counter he asks for "two medium lattes" because we usually get timmies coffee or make it at home and take it with us.
The guy serving gets us two filter coffees medium roast and K looks at me and says "does the coffee always come black here?" thinking that the milk foam might come from a machine or something....
I told the counter guy, "sorry he said medium lattes, instead of grande lattes" and the server kind of looked stunned ... "medium?...oh medium SIZE!!!! ohh okay no problem sorry about that" and writes on the two cups. K sees the guy walk away with the filter coffee and turns to me and says "where's he taking our lattes?" by then the server is back and K pays while looking around for the filter coffee.
When the payment goes through K asks where the coffee is and the sever looks even more puzzled and kind of raises his eyebrows like K has just grown a third eye. I told K that I know where they are... just over here and thank the coffee guy and walk us over to the pick-up station.
While they are being made I explain how starbucks works and it finally dawns on K whats going on. When our coffees come up the guy who was serving tells us to have a great day with our "mediums hahahaha" and laughs as if hes just learnt a great trick.
K was a little taken a back that the guy couldn't figure out medium, the guy was bewildered that someone would say medium in starbucks and I was stunned that both of them manage in the big mean world with all its confusing names for coffee!!!
The whole thing was completely surreal and I'm still a little bemused by it.
