How to Order Coffee at Starbucks
Learning how to order coffee at Starbucks can be tricky, and if you think that ordering coffee at Starbucks is confusing, you are not alone.
1.Things move quickly as their employees try to serve customers as efficiently as possible. Orders are generally taken at one of the cash registers. You will be asked for your first name, which you should state clearly. 2.. Don't be offended if they spell your name incorrectly. People who have unique or hard — to — spell names will sometimes use an easy ''Starbucks'' name when ordering, like Mike or Amy.
3. Their terms for size are：Tall, Grande, Venti, and Trenta. Although if you order a small, medium, large, or extra-large drink they will still understand you.
For ordering basic coffee, beyond specifying the size you want, you will need to tell the server whether you want regular or decaffeinated (脱去咖啡因的)coffee.4. If you intend to add cream or milk to your coffee, say with room for cream, or simply, with room. If you want a full cup, say no room. Read the list above the counter ahead of time, because they may not ask you which you would like. 5..
When you order, say the size you want first, then give the name of the drink, and finally add the special instructions last.
A.Starbucks is often a very busy place
B.Starbucks offers all kinds of coffee
C.Otherwise，they will assume that you want regular
D.Sometimes they will write your name in short forms
E.The ordering process is complicated because they use terms to describe drink size
F.Finally, if you are very particular about the freshness of your coffee, ask in advance
G.Your name will immediately be written on your cup and called out when, your drink is ready
