What kind of a charmed life do you have to have lived for this to be the most disrespectful thing you've experienced? This person clearly has no siblings and was home schooled. Or maybe Chris is the son of a powerful Mafia boss.

I probably wouldn't be able to say that's the most disrespectful thing to happen to me today.

[-] Nima@lemmy.world 57 points 10 months ago

Or maybe it's this weird new thing that the kids are doing nowadays. I think they call it "humor"? I've also heard them call it a "joke" as well.

that might be it.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago

Your mother is a hamster and you're father smells of elderberries

[-] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

For the children, that means your mother is a whore that fucks everyone and your father is a drunk.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Thanks! I never understood the hamster part.

Elderberries/drunk makes was easy due to gin.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Knowing what it means now actually makes it less funny. I thought it was just random nonsense.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I am Father Smells of Elderberries.

[-] andy_wijaya_med@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Dude stop it your making me laugh

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

That’s just ridiculous.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

What will these crazy kids come up with next?

[-] moody@lemmings.world 13 points 10 months ago

That's "Uh Chris" to you.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I wonder if his friends can him "Chris" or "Uh."

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

I know right?

I got "Margo with a T" once. :(

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Marto? /eye-roll

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Targo

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

At least that's correct, technically. Unless it was coffee.

[-] anotherlemmyuser@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

It's respectful gesture to never assume. When someone says it's "Margo with a T", it's "Margo with a T". Do not argue, do not change, do not assume!

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

/s?

[-] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 18 points 10 months ago

Garlic Boursin Sausage

[-] hamster@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

I totally thought it had garlic in it, too.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago

Is it that season again?

[-] ButWhatDoesItAllMean@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

Those brown sugar oatmilk shaken espressos slap pretty hard, NGL

[-] hamster@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Website says only 120 calories, I always thought those iced drinks were way more.

[-] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

120cal/serving

15 servings per 12oz cup

[-] LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Probably per sip.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

How is that called an espresso?

People make distinctions on sugar now?

What is a blond espresso?

So many questions..

[-] ButWhatDoesItAllMean@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah the name doesn't reflect it's true nature. I think technically it would be an oatmilk latte?

Aside from regular white refined sugar, our stores sell light brown sugar and dark brown sugar. They're not as refined and have the brown color due to the molasses that's present. The molasses changes the flavor profile of the brown sugars. They're used a lot in baking desserts because of the extra flavor the molasses imparts.

Blonde espresso is called that at Starbucks because they use a lighter roasted coffee bean, as opposed to a darker roasted bean.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks! I'm not too involved with the coffee scene and this was a lot to unpack.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

They call it espresso because it sounds cool and that's why they can charge more. It's not an espresso.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Glad I am not the only one! Sadly it depends on who makes it. I've had incredible and barely drinkable ones.

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I recently had a devoted Starbucks employee explain to me the difficulty in training new people on shaken expressos.

They are.. a point of contention it seems.

[-] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Mine was super separated, so I had ice water at the top and goop at the bottom, unless I vigorously shook it before each sip.

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I have never been to a Starbucks, but that sounds awesome.

[-] betamark@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

That batista treated them with utmost respect. It ain't every day that you open a treasure chest, find a mimic, and get smacked so hard you level up.

[-] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Like Becky

[-] bignate@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

I'm sorry ... What tf is a "blonde espresso" and since when does it come in a 32oz cup?? That's the real shame...

[-] owatnext@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's a brown sugar shaken espresso. The shortened words aren't hard to figure out. Espresso shots can be made regardless of the roast, which is in this case a light roast (blonde espresso). Sure, less traditional, but you can pull shots with any coffee you desire. In this drink, there are several shots shaken with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, and ice, served topped with a splash of oatmilk. (It looks like the milk has mixed in over time of being carried.)

A shakerato (shaken espresso) is a real type of coffee drink. Lmao.

Also, if this looks like a 32oz cup to you, you need to open your eyes. 32oz does not fit in the palm of one's hand unless they have much larger than average hands.

Edit: the Gr apparently stands for grande. In Starbucks language: 16oz. Lmao.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I actually prefer Starbucks' naming convention

"Grande" (large) makes more sense than "Medium" (between)

[-] thisbenzingring 4 points 10 months ago

You really want to fuck with a Starbucks barista?

Ask for a large black coffee

Always feels like a record skip when they are working it out in their head.

[-] Oyster_Lust@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Are you not blonde?

[-] TSR55@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Mm Guy

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Why do you disrespect yourself like that, Chris?

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I don't get it.

[-] TotalTrash@lemmy.ml 33 points 10 months ago

Not much to get. Dude got asked his name, said "uh, Chris", and they printed the "uh" on the receipt to mock him.

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 10 months ago

The name is written "uh Chris" because the guy presumably forgot his own name and the barista was making fun of him for that
