Step Four: Modifiers (or Changes to a Standard Drink)

Okay Princesses, now you can tell us all the changes you want made to your latte. Feel free to go nuts.

3 Splendas and cream in your coffee? You got it.
½ the normal amount of syrup? No problem.
5 shots?
1 shot instead of 2?
Breve?
Whole Milk?

Go for it.

However, you all need to stop being so picky about some of these.

¼ of a pump of syrup? Are you kidding me? There is no way to measure that!
½ a sugar packet? Honestly?
Milk at 173 degrees? Is 170 too cold? Do those three degrees matter that much?

I think that some of you need to just learn to sugar/sweeten/flavor your own coffee. We sell the syrups, and you can get sugar/sweeteners in any grocery store.

You should know that when you make requests like these, we do the whole thing anyway, or we don’t do it at all (i.e. When you ask for 3¼ pumps of vanilla syrup. We only add three.)

Usually, you can’t even tell the difference. (We’ve asked!)

Oh yeah, and for those of you that order a cheap drink, and then modify the heck out of it to get a more expensive drink at the cheaper price, you are the biggest princesses of all and make our lives horrible. It would just be easier for you to pay the dollar and have 1 or 2 modifers, than to save your money and potentially get the wrong drink because we can’t remember all the crap you want done to it. (We have a regular who orders a small iced Americano, in a large cup, with 3 pumps of vanilla, 2 pumps of hazelnut, 2 inches of cream, extra ice, and fill the rest with water. Really what she wants is an iced large vanilla latte, with ½ the vanilla, 2 pumps hazelnut, and creme.)
