One of my male Facebook friends posted that he was looking forward to getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte today, and somebody then commented: "I'm taking away your MANcard!" I guess I never thought of ordering a PSL being similar to asking for an umbrella drink at the local bar. What's the female-male ratio for PSL orders? Guys, do you order PSLs without shame? Discuss PLS and MANcards, or anything Starbucks-related in the OPEN THREAD.
Nah, I say go for it. A MAN has the balls to order what he likes, regardless of what someone else thinks.

Question: When does the "Just Say Yes" policy not apply? My manager and I debate over if it's ok to split venti frap's into two tall cups, she says yes and I say the company is losing money and it's against policy, it's just like the refill policy, she finds it ok to refill ice teas and coffees through our drive-thru all day. Does anyone else see a problem with this?

PSL is delicious, so who cares?
BTW-
We have a male customer who orders a venti half caf soy no foam latte and a banana walnut bread warmed halfway and served on a plate with a knife and a fork. Sometimes, I guess when he's feeling a little adventurous, he gets a warm very berry coffee cake, also warmed halfway, also served on a plate with a knife and a fork. THAT strips you of your mancard. INdefinitely.

I tried one of these for the first time last week- it was terrible. I'm pretty sure there's more sugar in it than coffee, in fact it just tasted like I was drinking sugar water, honestly couldn't even taste the coffee. Definitely the worst "coffee" I've ever had in my life. So gross I couldn't even finish it.
