Sadly I work for a university and good 'ol Starbucks is in every
direction from me. I have visited them about 10 times and 8 of those
were because I won a gift card. My personal favorite is how they claim
they only have two iced teas (sometimes only one) either a black tea
or a mint green tea. After I become tired of dealing with the
stupidity I simply ask for them to brew me a small hot tea of my
choice and I ask for an extra cup filled with ice... Viola! more than
two choices and I brewed it so it is at least close to acceptable. Why
they don't just offer this option I will never know, they'd rather
argue that they only have two types. Oof.

But America loves it, so I must be wrong.

It's much easier for them to make you a Venti Tazo Chai Latte by
adding tea concentrate and milk to a cup of ice than to actually BREW
the tea for each cup ordered.
