  • Obnoxious Starbucks Orders

    Do you have one?

    I have one, and I sort of hate myself for it. In the drive thru, I practice is so it's as innocuous as possible. I can't help it, the way they normally make their drinks is too sweet and I also want non fat and more caffeine than they'd normally do. DH won't order for me so if he's picking up coffee on the way home, I am only allowed a grande iced coffee with "a little bit of sweetener and a splash of nonfat milk." That's the most he'll do for me when he's the one getting coffee. If we're together in the drive thru I have to shout my order across his lap hah!

    I don't want to share my current order yet because it sounds so annoying and I want to know I'm not alone!

    Anyone else?

    When I was pregnant I'd order a tall, decaf (occasionally half caf), nonfat, 1.5 pump PSL. Hubby hated ordering for me!

      I'm currently on a grande triple iced nonfat caramel latte, with two pumps of caramel kick. It sounds soooo awful when I list all of that stuff to the baristas, I have to tell myself they've heard way worse. Hopefully.

        Venti nonfat triple caramel macciato

        Or

        Trenta iced green tea with only 3 pumps of sweetener (they usually do 7 pumps)

              Grande triple iced nonfat 2-pump caramel latte. My least obnoxious order is still a venti iced coffee with two pumps of sweetener with room. I'm sort of coffee high maintenance.

                  I actually don't feel that bad until I have to determine the number of pumps of flavoring they do. It's not my fault their default amount of flavoring is enough to coat your teeth in sugary film for the rest of the day! I just want a teeeeny bit of flavor!

                    For $5 I don't feel bad being obnoxious. "Salted caramel mocha; as skinny as you can make it" (they dont have sugar free toffee nut).

                      I miss Starbucks. It got so expensive with four kids. Now I tell them it's closed when we drive by.

                        I usually order an iced tall decaf vanilla latte with nonfat milk. I'm not ashamed!

                          Lol, I'm not creative enough to have a crazy order. Trenta black tea iced no sweetener

                            None of those sound too crazy! I typically do a grande nonfat, no water dirty chai. I'd love a pump of flavor in there too but it gets way pricey. That's one reason I enjoyed working at sbux, free drinks during shifts and 30% of otherwise!

                              I order a venti caramel macchiato or white chocolate mocha, sometimes with no whip, but pretty much as they come.
