Shared on Tue, 11/27/2007 - 16:07I had to make a quick stop by the mall today on my way home from work. I love hot chocolate and it was chilly out so I decided to stop on my way out and pick me up a cup. Starbucks just happened to be right on my way to my car so I stopped in. I usually only go to Starbucks 3 or 4 times a year so I'm not very familiar with the "Starbucks" lingo. I was the only customer in there, walked up to the counter and asked for some hot chocolate. The way too perky girl behind the counter asked me, " What size?" I asked "what sizes do you have?" She pointed to 3 cups with unreadable handwriting on them which looked like small, medium and large. I said "I'll take the middle one." She said " Grande?" I said " the middle one" she said "Grande?" I said " the middle one". I think she gave up and charged me for the middle one. Way too long later a young man asked me if I wanted whipped cream on my "Grande" hot chocolate. I told him no. He looked a little puzzled so I guested I was the first person to ever order hot chocolate without whipped cream. He handed me my drink and that's when I realized a Grande hot chocolate at Starbucks is really a middle cup half full of lukewarm chocolate milk. So now I know if I want the middle cup of hot chocolate full order the large cup which will come half full but how do I get it hot?
