Chaa, as a former Starbucks barista who dealt with obnoxious customers that REFUSED to grasp the concept that Starbucks used the Italian words Tall, Grande, and Venti to denote their cup sizes, I am not amused by this video ;)
As another former Starbucks barista, I had heard that Starbucks started with their short coffees (8 oz.) and tall coffees (12 oz.), which makes complete sense. When customers started to want more to drink (hello, weight problems for Americans) and the sizes got bigger, it started to make less sense (especially when short really isn't marketed anymore).

Hilarious! And so true, it doesn't make any sense!
Loved it! Will have to pass it on to my Starbuch's addicted family members :)

I had heard that in these troubled economic times they were bringing back what they called the $1 cup. I wonder if that is the old short.
