Starbucks Says NO! To Windows Phone APP

[psudotechzealot]

Welcome. Grande or Vente?

Grande
A spanish word, supposedly meaning "large", bastardized by the Starbucks marketing machine to mean medium; their 16oz coffee.
I hate going into a Starbuck's for coffee. The dumbass baristas always treat me like an ***** because I confuse a "Tall, "Grande" and "Vente". Grande is spanish for large, right? "Short" is the only size that makes any sense and "Vente" is an Italian word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them small, medium, large and extra large anyway?

Or

Vente
A word that reportedly means "20" in Italian, but at Starbucks it simply means extra-large.

Thanks urban dictionary.
Uh, I'll take an Vente green smoothie.

All gravity coffee is inferior. A good cup takes energy to produce, and not just energy to heat water.

Maybe off the topic ,or maybe not, but here, in India, Starbuck sucks . I find Gloria jean's coffee much much much better than Starbuck's.

We used to have Gloria Jean's in a mall here. I wonder if it's the same company.

Here in the UK there isn't much choice, it's Starbucks, Costa or Caffe Nero. There are smaller shops around but they tend to be local.

What's wrong with local shops? They usually have the best coffee.

Nothing, I was simply stating that because a lot of the local coffee shops are hard to find.

I guess with the recent news from Microsoft, we may as well end this discussion here right? lol

Even with Windows 10 universal apps, it wouldn't help the situation since the Starbucks app only makes sense on the phone in the first place!

Everything is on the table until 10 gets officially released.
