"In the US, most Starbucks use an explicit correlation identifier by writing your name on the cup and calling it out when the drink is ready."
Reminds me of Professor Frink giving a physical explanation of a toy lawnmower on the Simpsons.
- ugh 17y agoWell, I think that for large parts of the world (um, me at least) the second part sounds as strange as the first one. I was once in a Starbucks in Vienna where they did this and was throughly weirded out. What a rude intrusion into my privacy! And first names, too! (All the other Starbucks I visited in Germany didn’t do this. You had to identify your drink by type.)

- ugh 17y agoRude, intrusive and now they force me to lie? The evil just doesn’t stop :)
