Would you let this person make your coffee?

[Crackle]

They can peddle coffee for my perusal as I pedal to the peddler.

The likes of Starbucks seem to have turned coffee shops into confectioners.

How many sugars in your coffee sir, is that 16 or 22 teaspoonfuls you want?

They turned them into flavoured milk first. My favourite discordant note from starbucks is their large coffee, called a venti, which is italian for 20, for 20 fluid ounces Not that an italian would have the remotest idea how much 20 fluid oz was, she would never drink a half litre of milky coffee, either.

Ah excellent, now where is my collection of Starbucks barristas' efforts at writing Aloysious.

I have a longing to say "call me Ishmael" when asked for my name in Starbucks.

I'd be very wary, I bet the CB charges a fortune if you accidentally brake a mug.

Alouicious?

Nope.

Aloysius as in Lord Sebastian Flyte's teddy bear.

You must have a whale of a time.

Has anyone bothered to point out to them the bad spelling/grammar?

You would imagine not. I grabbed it from a facebook post, I am not personally acquainted with the place or I would have had to have a quiet word to the wise.

I'm by no means perfect and sling in the slang but so much wrong in just 5 words would need a mention.

Id be more worried about the sign writing company...
the coffee shop owner may be like myself..poor speller but good at what he or she does.

id have a coffee no prob

My thought too, the signwriter should have questioned it.

Unless of course it is deliberate, knowing that the pedants of the internet would repost it ad nausium, so generating massive exposure that they could not possibly afford to buy.

The staff may or may not get, but that where they got the name from.

But why are you ordering anything from Starbucks?????

Edit: the original SB logo was a very saucy little wench

Agree on the signwriter but maybe they have a policy of telling the customer that they will produce what is specified and the onus is on them to present it correctly in the first place.

It may be a clever free advertising ploy like TVC suggests, though if so I'd have specified my address or delivery area on there too so people knew where in the world I was, but if not and I knew I had a weakness in a particular area such as spelling, I'd seek a second opinion from someone more adept before making my business look daft.

Where is it anyway? A cyclist friendly cafe is worth knowing about.

Not that an italian would have the remotest idea how much 20 fluid oz was, she would never drink a half litre of milky coffee, either.

I'm an Italian barista cyclista "normal continental style coffee", Starbucks, Costa, Ritazza trained.
I do know how much 20 fluid oz is (a Massimo in costa btw): an obscene amount of milk that would give me the
Don't start me on " one shot decaf wet soya latte"
I would not care about the spelling if the coffee is good, 100% the barista did not write or commission the sign.
I like the logo!
