Mislabeled Stores

Having worked at one, I can tell you this. Starbucks is not a coffee shop. it is a sugary steamed milk junk food shop.

The book is "X pumps, water to the eyes on the label, milk and foam."

Lots of people get them with no water and extra pumps where I work.

Also, what problem do they have with the phrase "Hot peppermint mocha"? It's just a mocha with peppermint sauce in it. Or are you using the new mint chocolate thing? Either way it's just adding a syrup to a drink.

Admittedly, I am using the terminology from a different chain, but I keep getting confused looks when I ask for a mint mocha, some from when acme had starbucks, and once at the new one by work. They get confused at the cash register and sometimes when making it, just want a mocha with mint flavoring and the ones that get confused keep looking for it in the book/register code for something other then the add flavoring fee
