Lord know this girl loves her Starbucks. Giving it up for Lent was without question one of the top 4 dumbest things I ever did (um, hells no I am not telling you the top 3). So I have been making up for lost time lately and indulging...early and often.
Today I was in Small Town way North of Atlanta on the hunt for blessed cordovan colored penny loafers (um, yes the same penny loafers that tipped the apple cart of anxiety on Sunday, but I digresss) and drove through the Starbucks there.
I ordered an Iced Triple Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte in a Venti cup. Natch. This sounds very complicated to anyone who isn't a Starbucks fan, but I assure you it's quite simple. It's on the real menu, not some fancy whatnot I concocted.
In any case, I ordered my drink and pulled up to the window, anxiously awaiting my Goodness in a Venti Cup.
Ummmmm.
The barista who was working the drive-thru was a smidge country. Ok, truth be told, she was totally country and not even a little bit rock and roll. She was actually not even wearing an apron, but a random black cable knit sweater. Which was odd, because it was 80 dang degrees.
She handed me what I can only describe to you as a "Situation in a Venti Cup". It was an iced Situation, so points for that. However, I'm not exactly sure what shore this Situation was from. It looked to be an upside down caramel macchiato with an entire bottle of caramel and chocolate syrup dripping down the inside. On top of the "Situation in a Venti Cup" was a whole mess of whip with...wait for it...coconut shavings on the top. Whisky Tango Foxtrot?! Who on God's Earth hates themself enough to drink that?
I smiled and said, "Maybe that's the next car's order? I had an SVL."
"No. You didn't. " She said. Ruh-roh... "THIS is your drink. THIS is what you ordered. THIS is what I called back to you."
Back it on up sister friend. "No, that's not my order. I had an SVL. I don't even know what that Situation is. If you had called that back to me I would have laughed hysterically and corrected you."
So she pulled a face and got me an SVL. Which I thorougly enjoyed, despite that fact that I am certain she spit in it.

( p.s. who knew they had bad attitudes down in the land of magnolias! I thought it was only here, up north!)
Haha, you are a trip. Loved the story. And you're right -- what in the world was that "situation?"
what she gave you was "re-dick-oo-lus".

New to your blog...laughed hyserically1 :) lol...I'm so bad at Starbucks, even after 5 years I can't always remember my Grande Hazelnut NonFat Americano Misto. (Especially when it changes from summer to fall...after I'm done with my Iced hazelnut with room americano). Thank god the guys around here know me and give me one despite the idiot look on my face as I stutter through my order :)
I laughed until I couldn't see. Thank you for this! You are wonderful!
ha ha ha! This post made me laugh outloud. You should have told her to look at the receipt that showed your SVL and maybe she would have realized she messed up.
Hahahah! Well, so glad you got your SVL--even if there may or may not have been spit in it. Eeek!
Girl... I needed this laugh today!
Thanks!
