You forgot the $5 cup of latte once or twice a day.
That one, I'll never understand. I drink coffee. I drink it black. At home.
If I think I might want coffee after I leave my house, I take a small THERMOS® with me.
The only times I've ever spent money at a Starbucks outlet is at an I-80/90 rest plaza. Always, the same order: "Coffee. Black. That size [points to cup stack matching Clem's desired volume]."
It gets me what I want, with a minimum of dialogue... and I don't need to learn a second language to get my caffeine fix.
Starbucks: the perfect example of the power of marketing: giving consumers permission to spend outrageous money on unhealthy luxuries that they've been convinced are daily necessities.

For a while, Starbucks wasn't a terrible value if I was running late and a stop for food/beverage was needed on the way to work. Breakfast sandwich and a coffee for not much more than $5... and there has been two times now that the local SB's couldn't be any more on my way to work.
I was laughing at your dialogue. Here's mine.
Oober: "Good morning... I'll have a sausage breakfast sandwich and a medium coffee... black."
Cashier: "a Grande coffee?"
Oober, but slightly annoyed: "No. Medium."

Different tact: when I was 10 or 11 years old, Jacklyn Smith’s poster - she of Charlie’s Angels - had a place on my bedroom wall. Who was on your wall?
