a hot tip... abrathegenius November 4 2007, 15:14:07 UTC

If your alter ego "Mary" is ever forced to go there again, ask for your drink "extra hot, double cup." It makes them heat the milk up again really hot especially for you and this allows for natural cooling to not ruin your beverage on the way back to the office. The extra cup is a little insurance I like to call "insulation." It is science so you might not understand, just believe. Also put a sticker over the hole if you aren't going to drink it right away- it prevents spills and keeps heat in even more. Just ask for one or sometimes they have them on the pick-up counter. I have learned these tricks because for close to 3 years, I ordered and bought Starbucks coffee for SOMEONE ELSE at least 5 times a week. I won't ever get my $112,540 back but at least I have this valuable knowledge about coffee heat retention.

Your so-called "science" seems to make a crazy kind of sense. However, I try to keep things as simple as possible so I have less chances to be irate at them. Because obviously just asking for non-fat milk was already too much of a challenge.
The sticker for the hole is good advice. I will use this even when going to a non-Starbucks establishment -- are they just stick on label type things or do they have unicorns and rainbows, because I would like that.
