Was up until 2:30am putting together a PDF of figures for my proofreader, so I really need coffee today. I went across the street to order a soya latte.
Me: can I please have a large soya latte?
Barista 1: sure! Tall or grande?
Me: Just the large one. Or the bigger one I guess.
Barista 2: [leans over] Grande's our bigger size.
Barista 1: ok one grande soya latte, that's £2.20 please.
Me: I can never work these sizes out... You know, I've never met a single coffee shop that just calls them "small" and "big"...
Cue nervous (oh god another smartass customer) laughter. I pay.
Barista 3 [the one actually making the coffee]: ...and one tall soya latte?
Me, Barista 1 and Barista 2 [in unison]: GRANDE!
