What Is Your Unique Or Special Coffee, Latte, Espresso Order That You Ask For At Starbucks Or Any Coffee House?

Q: What do you say to the barista? For example: "Could I get a Double Cinnamon Mocha quarter five whole with mint, rasberries, blueberries, love, and a slice of immortality please?"

A: I have a problem stomaching Starbucks coffee, so I order "Venti iced Tazo Passion tea with 2 splendas." If I order coffee from a cafe with a good Espresso blend and talented baristas I order "16oz quad ristretto Americano with 1 oz sugar free vanilla, and a splash of nonfat to cool it down" Since I am a coffee snob, I have to just make it myself usually! I do think it's funny how people have incorporated "Starbucks ordering" into their daily life. . . For instance, the people that order food as if they were at a Starbucks: "I'll have my McDonlalds Fish Filet with the sesame bun, no sauce, extra cheese, and extra hot" or get a hotel room "I'd like a room with 1 king sized bed, no curtains, 2 remotes, close to a Coke vending machine, and an extra ice bucket." Maybe our society is getting pickier, or just learning how to verbalize their every desire without feeling guilty! I like the humor in your question... I'm more amused by the people who answer with drinks that don't even exist. If you ordered '2 Doubles' from me, you'd have to clarify..."Double what? Do you mean Double Espressos? That's called a Doppio...and do you want them separate or together?" Double Chocolate what? Are you talking about a Double Chocolatey Chip Frappuccino? It's all well and good to customize your order and make it your own, but if you don't know how to order it, you're just going to confuse your barista, and in my store, I've noticed that the people who incorrectly order complicated drinks are the ones who are the most rude when you ask them to repeat it or get it wrong. Well, it's difficult to customize drinks since I mostly order plain black coffee. If I get a Latte or something along those lines, I'll add a couple extra shots and substitute 2% milk for whole, since I like a clean finish on my coffee.
