This is why I order by ounces. "8 oz. double latte".
And then of course I get the barista has no idea how big their cups actually *are*... (The best one was when I ordered an '8oz double latte', and they tried to ring me up for a 16oz latte....)
Or the ones that get annoyed when I ask how many shots are standard in their 16oz latte. Just because some shops use one, and some use two, and one (god bless 'em) uses three... I like to know, ya know?
But yes, seeing other customers' behavior in most coffee shops, I can completely understand why (good) baristas go a bit nuts.
