Love it or hate it, Starbucks is kind of … it's a strange, special place. I cannot ever order anything at Starbucks because I get anxiety (not even kidding, this is such a sad little life), but my wife loves it. Loooves it. She has the app, she has a card or something, she has all kinds of merch, and she knows all the tips, tricks, and secret menu items – of which there are many. Starbucks is full of secrets that way. That's probably why their Ventis are so big.
