I like being in line behind those folks. Listening to someone order a "double skinny mocha latte without the espresso"* is one of life's purest joys.

* I shit you not. It happened at a Starbucks in Wisconsin.

It's always amusing asking for "Extra hot" and a slight look of panic as the milk is about to jump out the jug
So basically, a cup of hot chocolate made with skim milk?
That makes me curious - what is the maximum number of modifiers I can apply to one drink to arrive to a second drink on the same menu?

Bonus points if it's cheaper.

That's what the barista suggested, while kindly pointing out that would cost about half as much.

The customer insisted on the order as originally stated, and happily paid the extra two bucks for it.
