daily rants

Made a visit to the starbucks store in pyramid, well naturally it was pretty busy. Anyways, there were these 3 ppl who were occupying the table right next to me.. damn they were loud -.- ..well I had no choice but to listen about what they were talking about too. It was ok in the start with normal convo topics like work etc etc.. then they started to bitch about people.. who had this affair with another person bla bla bla.. and what caught my ears was what the guy in the next table said who I presumed was trying to impress his 2 female co-workers. He talked about starbucks.. complained and bitched about how the baristas would try to sell the whole store to them with their up-selling methods.. well I don't really blame him.. It is quite annoying. Then my fellow readers..he talked about the drinks. First he begun to "explain" the descriptions and the methods used to make the drinks.
Below are the terms the guy used in his effort to try to impress his female co-workers

1) "Expesso" ( actually called espresso )
Well..this is a general mistake by non-coffee connoisseurs but his pronunciations were hilarious. Expesso, according to the man..is coffee in small cups..well yea theres a truth to that.
I wonder what u call coffee in big cups.. giant expesso?

2) "whipped cream expesso" ( espresso con Pana)
Coffee in small cups with whipped cream

3) Dripped coffee (nothing wrong)
well at least he got something right ;)

4) Latte macchiato ( nothing wrong either, although its called caramel macchiato in starbux)
Pour hot milk with vanilla into a cup, then pour a cup of Expesso on top. Top with caramel.
Ask the barista for more caramel to get more value for ur drink. (~.~ Sugar rush anyone?)

Well thats all i'm gonna write... he said some other stuff too but they are just simply too ridiculous..
