The guys who produced the video -- and ordered some coffee -- had a bit of a problem getting the bar-code reader to read their order, but they declared the process "fun." || Watch "Paying for a cup of coffee with the new Starbucks iPhone app"

That is so totally cool. The video was a ton of fun.
Notice how the frappuccino came with unwanted whipped cream. But the barista did ask if the latte was iced or hot, when it was obviously ordered hot.

He didn't ask for no whip. Can't blame the barista for making a drink to standard.

That guy is a dork, vanilla bean frappuchino? I didn't realize he was a 16 year old girl. If there an app that can make him into a man?

You wouldn't be surprised how many people "obviously" order a hot drink, but assume the barista will somehow automatically understand s/he wants it iced...

Willing to bet the scanning problem was due to the bright sidelight obscuring the barcode.

People would always assume that the drink would come iced when the weather turned warm. So many mistakes!!

Technically the barista shoulda made a fuss about the camera. Just talkin the corporate line : p. I would at least mentioned the policy and let them do it if they explained they just wanted to demonstrate the app. I guess they could've and they just edited it out.

GamerVer05, the baristas in that video had no idea they were being video recorded. Yes, in fact, there is no doubt they should've been told they were being recorded. I am at this store regularly and I went back to it and mention to it, and I got a lot of shocked looks from the baristas there.
