Good bye vanilla earl grey tea misto....

[Cake]

I could never work at Starbucks because all the customers speak another language.

I once ordered a "large" coffee from Starbucks, trying to get the chick to correct me. I was looking for a fight. Instead, she just got me a large.

A London Fog is a tea misto (half steamed milk, half water)

Ewww.. Making it that way would take away so much flavor.

Yes, because normal tea with all water is so flavourless.

Point taken.

Perhaps its just the thought of the watered down milk that creeps me out. I rather a creamy taste to my yummy drink.

pretty sure it's glasgow kiss. makes sense as you bump heads. or head to nose, if you're doing it right.

Was thinking of the wrong thing (Glasgow smile is what the Joker in the Dark Night has and gives people, slits made from the edges of the mouth up to the ear, then you kick them, causing them to scream in pain and rip their cheeks open).

I mean, I know plenty of people from Glasgow, my father was born and raised there, but I didn't think the barristas would be that violent. Now it makes sense that I actually thought long enough to differentiate the terms.

In canada they are having a free sampling and a deal for starbucks club members
So anyone that wants to try it out (And lives in canada) totally should

I've started getting London Fog's from the coffee kiosk at my hospital. They use Tazo teas, and the same syrup that I see everywhere else. And for a large its i think the same $3.89.

But yeah, its awesome. Thanks for turning me on to it.

My church also has a london fog on their menu, as they also serve starbucks products there I thought I would give it a try. Not a bad way to drink tea.

So I tried the Starbuck's London Fog.

Really not bad. I dig it. It makes for a nice change from the sledgehammer-like effect of the local coffee company's mochae.

It's next on the list, Sir Wiggins.

I don't see what all the arguing is about on proportions of milk and water, etc. Everyone knows that most of the flavour in Starbucks' drinks comes from the tears of the child labourers who pick their coffee anyway.

[SilentBobCDN]

Those tears must make it taste like ass. Tried the starbucks london fog today. other than the teabags taking up a solid quarter of the volume in the damn cup, it tasted kinda bitter and overall not good.

As a part of my morning routine I go to the same starbucks every day, and virtually always order the same drink: an Iced venti non-fat, no whip, mocha. This has it's advantages, as most of the baristas at this location now know my drink from memory, so there's rarely a wait.

today however, caught me by surprise.

There's this one dude who typically works at a snail's pace. He's been on the morning shifts all week this week.

I walked in today and there was one person in line, so i was thinking to myself "yes - no line, I'll be in and out fast!" because I was running a little late.

then the person ahead of me busts out:

"Hi I'd like a coffee cake"

"Sorry, we don't have coffee cake today - but we have banana loaf"

"hmm... banana loaf...

I'd like:

A bacon breakfast sandwich...
A ham breakfast sandwich...
three old fashioned donuts...
an apple fritter...
a kids hot chocolate...
A tall latte...
A medium-grande[sic] americano...
and a grande caramel moch[sic]-iatto...

oh, and a tall dark roast."

with a sold 5 second pause between each item.

I stood there, agast, realizing that after a colossal order like that there was no way I was getting my coffee on time, when the barista came up to the counter punched in their order, charged them, then turned to me, took my debit card - and handed me my drink - which he had made while the other customers were ordering.

essentially, best day ever.

I <3 starbucks! I kinda want to work there.

[Master Gunner]

If a LRR forum member worked at a Starbucks, I would probably willingly go in for once.
