The District Weekly: I WENT TO STARBUCKS ONCE | The District Weekly

    I went about a month ago for the first time in many, many moons out of necessity--don't ask--the coffee guy asked what I wanted, "a medium coffee with steamed milk" "Huh?" "A MEDIUM COFFEE with STEAMED MILK" "Do you want a....(insert made up sizes here)?" It went down hill from there. If I'm paying that much to a chain give me ItsAGrind, at least they understand "medium" and "coffee".

    After all these years, I still don't know the nomenclature -- and I take that as a positive sign.

    Hey, the best Starbucks you can go to is in the domestic terminal of the Santiago airport. You'll notice that they never serve (or make) coffee, because the machine has been broken since the Starbucks stand opened and apparently no one will ever fix it. Sometimes you can still get an espresso, but even that is sometimes not available. I highly recommend them, especially if you don't like Starbuck's coffee.

    gee, thanks. Next time I'm in Santiago I'll run right over there.

    Hey everyone - seen this site yet? http://delocator.net/ If you ever doubted there was a non-Starbucks (or Barnes and Noble, etc.) option in your neighborhood... Awesome :)
