On the Starbucks Subculture

As some of you may know, I am an avid hater of the Starbucks experience and everything Starbucks related. I'm about to relate another great example of why I hate Starbucks, in addition to the stuck up, superficial, tofu-eating hippies, metro-/homo-sexual males with the black rimmed rectangular glasses who waste their time reading their "uber-intellectual" books, and I can't forget the VW Beetle-driving, cat-worshiping, gossip circles of feminist women.

Now, for the unveiling of the masterpiece. With great distain, I had to enter the establishment. While I was inside, I was observing the decor and setup when I noticed this display:

A seemingly harmless display, right? Well, let me inform you of just how pretentious Starbucks and its patrons are. From the top to the bottom, the size names are as follows: Tall, Grande, and Venti.
*drums fingers and looks around for a few minutes*
So the smallest cup (12 fl. oz.), not to mention the shortest, is called the "Tall"? Then the medium (16 fl. oz.) is called a "Grande"? Now, I don't know much about Spanish, but I'm pretty sure "Grande" means large or something fairly similar to that. And for the next size... Venti. "Venti" is Italian for twenty, which amazingly coincides with the 20 fl. oz. that is found inside this abomination. On the other hand, they could have just called it a large, but what do I know.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.
