If milk is rape, does that make this prostitution?
The question:

Is it fair/right for a customer to order what we, at my store, call a "ghetto-latte"?

The "ghetto-latte" is ordering any size Iced Americano, with no water and half ice (This lady's drink is an Iced Venti, no water, half ice, Americano). She then takes the drink and goes to the condiments bar and adds her own half and half.


Seems reasonably simple, right?

Not something you'd expect to cause, say, a three-month, several-hundred comment long flamewar which would eventually get heated enough that comments would be closed?

Apparently, none of us know Starbucks that well.

I know. I always trip over the tall-grande-venti nonsense whilst trying to acquire my drug of choice, and I've lived here since forever.

It's more fun for me since there are three different coffee shops I buy from on my campus. I randomly default to Starbucks settings, or end up staring at the menu for a while.

Fortunately, my orders are almost always the same, no matter which one I'm at.

Almost everyone I know uses the actual size of the cup, as in "12 oz triple mocha breve" or whatever. It's so much easier that way, especially when you get to the bigger sizes and different places start using different names.
