So you knew exactly what they wanted, but felt the need to correct them into using starbucks' non-standard, made up bullshit naming scheme?
Actually I was often wrong when I attempted to repeat the order back. That's why I did it in the first place; because I will often mishear or the customer will often order something they didn't mean to. The point is that if you play by the rules of the game, you get a consistent result. If you're trying to be non-conformist at a Starbucks...
What they're doing is being pricks about the naming of the coffee.
So if it's the naming that annoys you, why take it out on the barista?
I'm a former Starbucks employee, and I used to repeat the order back to the customer in the Starbucks jargon while I was writing the order on the cup. This helps to ensure that I got your order right, and maybe that you'll catch on with the naming (which happens to be written in huge bold letters on the wall), which also helps to get your drink right. The most annoying people are the ones that don't order off the menu, and become upset when we don't make the drink they wanted.
Not to mention automatic transmission, power steering, hydraulic brakes, automatic spark advance, electric starter and fuel pump.
Sure all of those things make it easier to drive the car, but only with the basic functions of the car. If you don't know how to keep track of what's going on around you and require sensors to figure it out for you, you'll eventually get into an accident. The sensor is not a substitute for your eyes (yet).
Anyone remember when each of your peripherals had a clearly defined function?
If I didn't, I don't think I would sit there wishing that each peripheral only did one thing.
ate several Diploducus for breakfast every morning before having violent diarrhea to clear their bowels of thousands of pounds of flesh that took up the rest of their days.
"This obviously makes the gas more or less inert but ensures that the charged particles are free to conduct electricity."
"Makes the gas more inert?" Those guys should stick to writing about case mods.
Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension. I agree that this artivle is trash, but you're just making yourself look stupid. In this context "more or less" more or less means nothing. See? just take out the "more or less" and the meaning becomes clear.
I had some pet chickens during grade school. And no, I didn't live on a farm. I lived in the suburbs. They were very dear to me, and I almost cried when the last one died. But yeah, chicken is like the most delicious meat out there.
