haven't been to a starbucks yet. I've ordered just espresso shots before but have to admit i'm a little hesitant to ask for the cup of ice on the side to make my own iced latte. I'd wonder if they'd be watching me. it's similar to the classic xo ordering chicken fajitas anxiety

I was at a coffee shop two days ago that had a milk bar and had the same issue. I thought about getting the espresso, but dithered, because I didn't want to ask for the side of ice. This never happened when I was younger. Probably temporary though, been going through a phase lately where I'm more worried about judgment than usual. It's been really crampin my style.

Recently I was sitting down at a coffee shop poasting on xo, and heard zoomer baristas using all kinds of gen z slang I had never heard in the wild before, only online.

A couple of The zoomer baristas at my local coffee shop are somewhat sophisticated by zoomer standards. I once heard one of them talk about the Iran war and that many people were waiting for an Israeli false flag terrorist attack attack in the us, and thought “wow 180”

I only like lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, macchiatos (especially caramel or vanilla versions), mochas, and frappes. Especially lattes with flavor shots in them (vanilla, caramel, pumpkin spice, iced lattes with syrups or whipped cream, affogato (for those of you who don't know, its espresso over ice cream, which is just delightful!), vienna-style coffee, and of course anything with oat/almond or soy milk and foam art.
