If the menu says it, that's what I'll order.

I had a hell of a time trying not to crack up during my Seattle visit. Just about every day started with going to Biscuit Bitch.

I don't go to Starbucks that often, sometimes I'll use the one in Price Chopper if I go there to shop, but outside of that I stick to Dunkin Donuts since they are always closer and always have drvie thrus. I usually just say what they have on the menu, so yeah I guess I use the lingo.

Ask for room. You have to do it yourself at the condiment bar.

Appropriate username.

What do you do in the drive-thru? Keep a thing of cream and sugar in your glovebox? Bet that holds up well in the heat lol.

You try to be cute but thats the bone of contention in my point. Words cary very different meanings. But why have a very elegant clean solutions to these problems in the form
of words that are typically universally understood, right?

Out of habit I order by ounces since my normal coffee place has that as sizes. I usually get a 12oz coffee.

There's only 39 Starbucks stores in Australia and they're catered for tourists anyway. Australians are real snobby about coffee (myself included) and their coffee just isn't good enough.

Well here in Canada we got this mom and pop coffee shop Tim Hortons and dont be confused. It may be a Canadian staple, but its not all that great. We fuckin love it tho for some reason. Call it Canadian pride or some shit.

Anyway. Cream and sugar are ordered in units. One cream, two sugars for example. Or the famous double double and Ill let you figure out what that means.

but heres whats happening behind the scenes. This is from a quick google search.

From my store, all measurements in millilitres:
Cream: XS 18, S 21, M 35, L 43, XL 50
(Skim) Milk for coffee: XS 23, S 29, M 41, L 58, XL 74
(Skim) Milk for coffee, USA: S 39, M 55, L 78, XL 93 (Skim) Milk for tea: XS 17, S 23, M 29, L 42, XL 50
Sugar: XS 5.5, S 8.4, M 11, L 14, XL 18

The amounts are automatically calculated and adjusted to the size and type of drink. And this seems be a universal language at the very least

idk how other restaurants dispense the shit but you ask for a double double at any fast food window (other than Starbucks as far as I know because I never order there) and they produce what you ask for without question
