The Starbucks Meme!



Everyone's been to a Starbucks. You stand in line, you give your order, you shuffle off to the coffee bar to wait for the barista to call your drink along with everyone else. Sometimes you listen as they call other people's drink orders. Who orders a triple shot chai nonfat latte with whip cream anyway? Or maybe you think it's boring to order a tall mocha. Maybe you like to make the most complicated, most customized drink possible. Or maybe you're just gonna try to steal someone else's drink.

There's a lot to do waiting for your coffee, and there are people all around you doing the same. Maybe they're the person who gives their name as Chuck Norris. Or they're judging your drink. Maybe they're that guy who tries to flirt with the barista and holds up the line. Or maybe you both got the exact same drink and there'll be an argument about whose drink it was.

All kinds of things can happen when you're uncaffeinated and waiting for your fix.

So, enough talking. How do you play?

Instructions!
1 - Post a comment with a drink order in the subject line. Post anon, and the barista shouting the order is anonymous (unless someone who tags you wants to be the barista). Post un-anon, and your character is the barista in question shouting the order.

2 - Tag around! Does your character think someone else's order is too complicated/not complicated enough? Are they trying to score a free drink by picking it up first? Do they try to strike up a conversation with the person whose drink it is?

3 - Get caffeinated! Bounce off the walls!

[ Okay so, whoever decided it was a good idea to let Steve go get everyone's coffee should never actually be allowed to share their ideas ever again. ]

[ He looks down at the paper he wrote everyone's drink order down on but it seems like they're just shouting out orders now ]

--Who is this one for?

[ He'd given names!! ]

Earl Grey, Tall.

[ Sherlock notices the drink is a favourite of his flatemate's, John Watson. With a slight tug of his lips in an amused smile, he reaches for the drink first, even though it isn't his. After all the work he does, solving cases, he deserves something he can actually use, instead of the silly gifts people insist on giving him.]

Trenta, mocha java chip with two extra shots, floating!

[He looked up, puzzled. He was waiting for the order - that they'd written as 'Caruso' - of "coffee, black" to be called out. But what the hell was that? Half of it sounded like a drink, the other half sounded like the case he was working on. He sighed, rubbing his brow, leaning on the counter in his rumpled coat]

[Jason needed to stay awake to work on this crazy ass case. So he was going for the caffeine boost so he would crash later.]

[Waiting in line was torture, but it would all be worth it in the end. Especially on a day like today, when the temperature index was hitting above a hundred, and the only relief was stepping inside the comfortably air conditioned Starbucks to order her favorite drink.]

ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO!!!!

[You know, locating a Starbucks near to his pond was, really, a mistake. But the damn things got everywhere, didn't they? And they'd left the door open. And something smelled good.]

[So he wandered out of the water, stomping clean in the front door. The first thing he sniffed - amongst the chaos, which he really didn't care about - was...fruity. And something else. Whatever. He bit down on the cup, flipping it back to drink it.]

[That'd be hers. And of course, it's Evian]

Ah, thank you, dear.

Grande Iced Americano with Peppermint...

[emptynight]

For that gorgeous thing who wants my number.

[endlesson]

The only thing I said I wanted was the Americano.

Calm brewed tea. Short.

... chamomile, rose petals and soothing herbs. Sounds kind of nice, really.

[ Why he would hold all of Starbucks at gunpoint for a single drink is anyone's guess. Nevertheless, he's there. With the shotgun in hand. With the coffee in the other hand. Walking out like it's just any other day while civilians stand in fright all around. ]

Oh, don't mind me. Hee hee.

Venti iced passion tea!

[ It took them long enough for them to finish his drink but after taking one sip of this cool beverage, Halim couldn't help but smile. Deciding to spend his day in this local cafe was perhaps the best idea he could've come up with on such a hot summer day. Having his fill of constant negotiations with various monarchs and despots, the humble marquis decide to recline in mock seclusion here within Starbucks. ]

...I wonder if I should tempt myself to buy another.

grande soy triple dirty chai

[redshoed]

I'd say a double dirty chai makes it filthy and a triple dirty chai makes it -

Hm, maybe squalid. Or freaknasty.

[And yet Dorothy sips her contentedly, ready to face the day.]

Ah, merci.

[And he'll just be grabbing his VERY MANLY drink.]

[Excuse the man, he looks like he's about one more special ingredient away from crying into his paper cup of skinny milk monstrosity.]

But I just wanted a normal latte macchiato like we make them at home!

Some insanely complicated special order

[berserkerbutton]

[ What you receive is a regular coffee with milk and sugar.

Go ahead.

Just TRY complaining here.]

...he's picky.

Excuse me, Monsieur. Zhis is not what I ordered.
