What kind of a charmed life do you have to have lived for this to be the most disrespectful thing you've experienced? This person clearly has no siblings and was home schooled. Or maybe Chris is the son of a powerful Mafia boss.

I probably wouldn't be able to say that's the most disrespectful thing to happen to me today.

[–] Nima@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Or maybe it's this weird new thing that the kids are doing nowadays. I think they call it "humor"? I've also heard them call it a "joke" as well.

that might be it.

Your mother is a hamster and you're father smells of elderberries

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For the children, that means your mother is a whore that fucks everyone and your father is a drunk.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I never understood the hamster part.

Elderberries/drunk makes was easy due to gin.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Knowing what it means now actually makes it less funny. I thought it was just random nonsense.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am Father Smells of Elderberries.

[–] andy_wijaya_med@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Dude stop it your making me laugh

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

That’s just ridiculous.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

What will these crazy kids come up with next?

I wonder if his friends can him "Chris" or "Uh."

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I know right?

I got "Margo with a T" once. :(

At least that's correct, technically. Unless it was coffee.

[–] anotherlemmyuser@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It's respectful gesture to never assume. When someone says it's "Margo with a T", it's "Margo with a T". Do not argue, do not change, do not assume!

I totally thought it had garlic in it, too.

Those brown sugar oatmilk shaken espressos slap pretty hard, NGL

[–] hamster@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Website says only 120 calories, I always thought those iced drinks were way more.

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

120cal/serving

15 servings per 12oz cup

Probably per sip.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How is that called an espresso?

People make distinctions on sugar now?

What is a blond espresso?

So many questions..

[–] ButWhatDoesItAllMean@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah the name doesn't reflect it's true nature. I think technically it would be an oatmilk latte?

Aside from regular white refined sugar, our stores sell light brown sugar and dark brown sugar. They're not as refined and have the brown color due to the molasses that's present. The molasses changes the flavor profile of the brown sugars. They're used a lot in baking desserts because of the extra flavor the molasses imparts.

Blonde espresso is called that at Starbucks because they use a lighter roasted coffee bean, as opposed to a darker roasted bean.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I'm not too involved with the coffee scene and this was a lot to unpack.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

They call it espresso because it sounds cool and that's why they can charge more. It's not an espresso.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad I am not the only one! Sadly it depends on who makes it. I've had incredible and barely drinkable ones.

[–] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I recently had a devoted Starbucks employee explain to me the difficulty in training new people on shaken expressos.

They are.. a point of contention it seems.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Mine was super separated, so I had ice water at the top and goop at the bottom, unless I vigorously shook it before each sip.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have never been to a Starbucks, but that sounds awesome.

[–] betamark@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

That batista treated them with utmost respect. It ain't every day that you open a treasure chest, find a mimic, and get smacked so hard you level up.

[–] bignate@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sorry ... What tf is a "blonde espresso" and since when does it come in a 32oz cup?? That's the real shame...

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's a brown sugar shaken espresso. The shortened words aren't hard to figure out. Espresso shots can be made regardless of the roast, which is in this case a light roast (blonde espresso). Sure, less traditional, but you can pull shots with any coffee you desire. In this drink, there are several shots shaken with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, and ice, served topped with a splash of oatmilk. (It looks like the milk has mixed in over time of being carried.)

A shakerato (shaken espresso) is a real type of coffee drink. Lmao.

Also, if this looks like a 32oz cup to you, you need to open your eyes. 32oz does not fit in the palm of one's hand unless they have much larger than average hands.


Edit: the Gr apparently stands for grande. In Starbucks language: 16oz. Lmao.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I actually prefer Starbucks' naming convention

"Grande" (large) makes more sense than "Medium" (between)

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

You really want to fuck with a Starbucks barista?

Ask for a large black coffee

Always feels like a record skip when they are working it out in their head.

[–] Oyster_Lust@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Are you not blonde?

[–] TSR55@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Why do you disrespect yourself like that, Chris?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] TotalTrash@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 years ago

Not much to get. Dude got asked his name, said "uh, Chris", and they printed the "uh" on the receipt to mock him.

[–] Worx 8 points 2 years ago

The name is written "uh Chris" because the guy presumably forgot his own name and the barista was making fun of him for that
