Baristas everywhere:You’re not doing me any favors by giving me extra anything that goes into my drinks.
Someone that makes an ass-load of money in R&D spent a. long. time. coming up with said drinks’ recipes. More milk doesn’t give me more “bang-for-buck.” My drink is not too bitter to begin with.

Do me a real favor: learn the recipes so that I might thoroughly enjoy my Starbucks experience.
