advice for someone new to starbucks

Venti Iced skinny cinnamon dolce latte is what I order at starbucks. Many people don't know this but there is a correct way to order your drink at starbucks. If everyone followed the formula the line at starbucks would move a lot faster. However there are many people you don't follow the rules so I have decided to educate those of you who don't know what you are doing. When you order a latte you must always start out with the size of the drink. A tall is a small. A grande is a medium. A venti is a large. The next information you need to give is whether you would like the drink iced or not. So if you want an iced latte or an iced mocha you need to say iced after your drink size. If you want a hot latte this step isn't neccessary it is just understood. However be mindful that all of their drinks come iced in the summer unless you specify that you want it to be hot. The next think that you need to do is state what kind of milk you would like in your drink. By default 2% milk is used but if you would like skim milk to be used you would say nonfat. They also have the option of using soy milk. After you have specified your milk type you next need to say what type of syrup you would like to be used. They have sugar-free options also. For a shortcut if you want nonfat milk and sugar-free syrup to be used just say skinny and the flavor of syrup you would like. For example I order a skinny cinnamon dolce latte that means that skim milk and sugar-free syrup is used. This is the correct form of how to order a latte. So go out to starbucks today and try to order a latte the correct way and I promise you the people waiting in the line behind you will be very appreciative that you know what you are doing. Starbucks is amazing!!!

  1. Very good information to know! But then I don't like coffee, so I'll never get to use it.
