Don’t forget about MIS – Caffe Misto, otherwise known as a Cafe au Lait.

the caramel sauce is thicker and contains dairy, the syrup is just a sugary flavouring

My usual is a social drink (i.e. no caffine) and it’s a non-fat, tall, decafe mocha with no whip, no foam, extra hot and stirred. I get some dirty looks from barristas about the “stirred” part but they don’t all do it and then I get too much syrup at the bottom of the cup / end of the drink. But today I had the captial letter “T” in a circle on the sleeve of my cup. Never seen that before and it isn’t on your list. Was it a leftover from an aborted order? What does it mean? Cheers

Whipped Cream is technically “WC!”, though some baristas get lazy and lose the punctuation.

Thanks, Trainee – that makes perfect sense now!

well for the caramel sauce vs caramel syrup, the syrup is concentrated and used for the actual drink. the sauce is just caramel in a squeeze bottle for topping purposes

I order a Green Tea Frap w/ SOY all the time! At least in LA, they don’t look at you funny or judge you for it … LOL

Zooey – oh, deaf people CAN use Starbucks’ drive-thru (and any other drive-thru’s). Just write down your order, get in the drive-thru line, skip the menu / loudspeaker, and give the person in the first window (or only window) your written order. Took me a long time to get used to doing it this way myself, but my partner has been doing it for years. Now that we have two young kids, drive-thru’s are a BLESSING! :-P

I’m looking forward to the day when I can use the Starbucks drive thru. Why do only hearing people get to use the drive thru?
