That is hilarious! When I order decaf I often doubt what I’m getting.

hahaha! baristas trying to fatten up their skinny customers…so umm if the americans don’t call homo milk homo what do they call it?

Homo milk? That’s funny! In Dutch we call it “Volle melk” which would translate into “Full milk”.

Oh my gosh, the same thing happens to me when I order Diet Coke at this drive-through drink place near my house… and since I’ve gained 4 pounds since moving back home – I’m convinced. Now I can never go back… What is these people’s problems, anyway?

That is too funny. I’m sure they do it so it tastes better and you keep going back, until you start gaining weight and figure it out…but I have noticed different Starbucks do taste different for other drinks too…hmmm gotta think about that!

At least that should be a compliment, right? She thinks you’re too thin and need the full fat (HOMO, hahahahaha) milk.

People do that with all kinds of stuff, like trying to give me diet soda instead of regular because they think I’m overweight so I should be ordering diet soda anyway. What’s with that?

I had to forward your post to my husband to show him the picture of “homo milk” — I knew he’d laugh his butt off which doesn’t say much about the maturity of my almost-31-year-old husband, does it?

I am a newbie to coffee. I would have NO FREAKING CLUE if they “Tinkered” with my drink.

But then, I use EIGHT Splendas and a vat of half and half in my large coffee.

(And I will NOT put it in while anyone else is watching because I know how gross this is to most coffee drinkers.)

Man. Now I have spilled my coffee secret to the world via your blog.

I almost feel like we should hug or something.

The other day I got a Java Chip Frapp Lite. It came with whipped cream. I was all “Dude, this is not light. There is whipped cream.” And he apologized and then totally just scraped off the whip and put in another cup. It was completely obv. ANGER.

slynnros last blog post..Oh Dear.

So… your barista’s a cheaty little monkey!? HA! you gotta watch those barista’s like a HAWK. See Starbucks tells them to put in the good stuff so we’ll keep coming back for more more MORE! I think they put OTHER STUFF in the drinks, too, but that’s another story…!!!

Really? That is so weird. Shouldn’t they just make what the customer wants regardless of their appearance and weight. Anyway, when Rhumba was still available in our local starbucks, I used to order it as often as I like. I love blended and fatty drinks and so far, they all taste the same to me. Haven’t heard any barista cheating here anyhow.

Homo milk must be derived from Homogeneous, methinks. 😀

[…] « i’m telling y’all it’s a sabotage […]

There is a barista at a Starbucks by my old job. If I went in and saw that it was him, I would get the drink I like. He made it so strong it was disgusting! There is a really good barista in the Starbucks in our Target. Her drinks are the best!

So maybe the barista is saying you are too thin! Tip her well!

Dis last blog post..This is a crock!!!

They totally do what they want with your drinks. I can’t have caffeine or milk so I always ask for decaff and soy. There are so many times I can tell that they didn’t listen because I’ll be shaking and near vomitting. ugh!

Honestly, I think it was hilarious that you found your frapp to be over-blended, when I was just at a website where the burning question of the day was “What do you do when you frapp is too chunky, ask them to reblend it or walk away?”

I am a starbucks barista, in the busiest (and unfortunately the smallest) store in my district. And I REALLY wish all of you guys could spend sometime working in a starbucks before you complain. I hate this bullshit about “Oh I think my barista is purposely making my drink with whole (or homo for you) instead of nonfat!” Honestly, the only reasons why a barista would make your drink wrong on purpose is either: a.) you were a bitch (and I mean a BIG bitch) or because they were in a bad mood and just didn’t care about you drink. Other reasons may be someone steamed whole milk in the nonfat pitcher and forgot. As far someone giving you another milk when you ask for soy or caffine when you ask for decaf, I know that I NEVER do that because that could really make someone sick, not to mention it is very easy to taste the difference between normal milk and soy. If you ask for your frapp lite and it comes with whip, that doesn’t mean that your drink wasn’t lite, usually it means that the barista topping the drink (cause in my store one person blends, one person tops and hands out) didn’t read the cup right. And I’m sorry if I don’t see the big deal in scrapping off whip cream, I mean honestly, are we that high maintenance that we need the frapp remade? I get that starbucks is expensive, but I and any other barista at your local starbucks can’t do a damn thing about it. We have no control over the prices what so ever. If you really think we’re making your drinks wrong, consider the fact that we get complaints and yelled at all day that we would rather make your drink right and get you to leave and not come back to remake it then to purposely make the drink wrong out of spite.
I may have just wasted my breath, but in case I didn’t, I’ll end with saying this: Baristas work for very low pay and even lower appreciation. I have probably been told that I’ve made a wonderful drink a handful of times even though I do my best to make the drink perfect everytime. We understand it’s expensive and yes, your drink should be perfect. But that doesn’t mean you have to rude or to look down to us as if we are stupid. A little appreciation goes a long way. My tip, if you really think your drink is made incorrectly or you know it has been made incorrectly, POLITELY say “I don’t mean to be rude, but my drink to taste different/funny/is too hot/cold/sweet/bitter or whatever. Do you mind to remake it?” I understand if you are upset, but by being calm and polite, not only will your drink get remade, you may get a coupon for free drink as well.
