I spent many moons in the trenches of Starbeetus, and it's the same there. The abominations I served probably deserve their own inglorious post, but let's just say that baristas also play the "I bet I know what you're getting" game. You want a PSL with white mocha and extra whip? OF COURSE you do. If you had a new person that became a regular, you could literally watch them gain weight, then stop coming for a little while before they gave up on their diet and then come back. But the customers ordering unsweet tea and black coffee or americanos? You could count on them to show up sweaty after the gym every now and then, or on their way to the trails with their bike strapped to their SUV every saturday morning at 6 a.m. like clockwork.

I had to google what a PSL was...

I'm a stereotypical white girl when it comes to pumpkin...so much that one of my friends put this on my facebook. I'm ashamed to admit I thought abbreviating it to PSL was clever.

Other than pumpkin spice, I go to Starbucks either for refreshers or light espresso frapuccinos with 2-3 extra shots of espresso. I might love espresso. But those are for evenings before going into work. I make my own morning coffee.

The PSL with white mocha and extra whip sounds quite nice, but after your first one I can imagine feeling sick and bloated and never getting it again.

I've had a fat barista from a different coffee shop be bitchy to me over my order once. I got a small, plain hot chocolate. No I don't want marshmallows....no really I don't want cream. So under her breath she said "interesting...." and rolled her eyes. I could tell she's sick of all the skinny bitches getting their reasonably sized drinks with no genetics.

Haha I'm glad I don't go there more often, otherwise I'm sure I'd get super-sized. Might try the americano though, I've had that at other places and it was pretty good. Any other healthy starbeetus drinks you'd recommend?

It's more rules of behavior than specific drinks. Most flavors come in syrup form, so you can ask for a pump or two in any drink. Give up on cream unless you want to come inside and do it yourself, because it just gets eyeballed. Some baristas' idea of "cream" is 1/3 of the cup full. You can always ask for something half sweet. Coconut milk is an option, but frankly I don't care for the way it tastes in coffee beverages...it's great in a hot chocolate though. The iced coffee tastes better with a shot of espresso in it.
