Starbucksian


I’m picky when it comes to coffee. I like Italian coffee: not to bitter, not to acidic, not elaborate or gimmicky, etc. That’s to say that I don’t particularly care for Starbucks.

However, in times of desperation, when I start dreaming about coffee and nothing else is available (Starbucks is pretty much in every corner anyway) I go there. What really bothers me is that I don’t speak Starbucksian….

If I order a small espresso with a drop of milk, the “barista” looks at me with pity and corrects me: “Oh you
 want a solo-caramel-piccolo-macchiato-latte-mini-caldo?”

Uhmmmm, yeah, I guess
