WCDT Strips 3641 to 3645 (25th - 30th December 2017)
Clovis Man:
Poll: Bubbles, with Hannelore as a close second. Major turning points for both of them. It'll be interesting to see how Hanners and Tilly carry on from here.
Comic: Fortunately, we don't have a Starbuck's in town. We do, however, have baristas who understand small, medium, and large.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Every time I order a 'large' at Starbuck's, they put venti in it.

We need to Orions to come over and vaporize each and every copyright and patent holder for theft from the public domain. :-D The centauri I don't trust as much for not pulling the same stunt.

We've met the Ferengi and they are us.

Well, I mean, you've seen Trump. He would probably be flattered by the comparison.

Does that imply there are Coffee of Doom branches in EVERY country?
The Canadian Coffee of Doom would probably be more polite.... :-D

--- Quote from: Case on 25 Dec 2017, 09:06 ---Venti is Starbuckian for "20 fl oz Cup size". Since Café la Morte is (presumably) located in France, the resident Baristas don't understand Starbuckian, but can readily count to twenty in another romance-language (I've heard this quite often from French or Italian acquantances), so Francohanners assumes that Venti Coffee is supposed to mean 20 Espressos rather than one 592 ml cup of coffee.

An understandable mistake, no? I'd be more apt to believe that the customer is ordering for a lot of friends than the strange idea that they want to drink their coffee out of a bucket.

Obligatory European "Tsk, Americans."

"Oh hey there, how ya doin'? Welcome to Coffee of Broom, can I get you some coffee, eh? We've got a special today where if you order some Machiatto, our barista Clay will mock you and our assistant manager Flora will apologise, eh. If you buy two coffees, you'll get a free curling broom."
(I profusely apologise to any Canadians whom I might have offended.)
