Starbucks Coffee Deception

Ever since the late 1990's, I have been drinking Vanilla Cappuccino from Starbucks since my brother purchased a cup for me at the hospital in Norfolk, VA when my father was hospitalized there for a few days.  I cannot remember what size it was, but since that experience I always get VENTI or large when I am ordering.

I don't purchase Starbucks Coffee very often because it cost more money than I would like to pay for a cup of coffee, especially when I can purchased an equally delicious cup of coffee at Panera Bread for less than half of what I pay Starbucks.

Recently for my Christmas and Birthday Presents, I have been receiving Starbucks Gift Cards so I have been purchasing more VENTI Vanilla Cappuccinos from Starbucks than normal...  and today, my wife went to the Mall in Knoxville to look around and to get out of the house a little, so I asked her that if she passed a Starbucks to get me a cup...   which she did.

The coffee was cold by the time she returned so I had to heat it up a little in the microwave after which I removed the top...   AND, not only did I notice that the foamed milk they put on top had liquified, I also noticed that my cup was only HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY depending upon your perspective.

HALF...  FRIGGIN...  FULL is a disgrace...  and deceptive to say the least when ordering a VENTI cup of coffee...

In reality, I got a small cup of coffee in a large cup...

Once my gift cards are empty...  NO MORE STARBUCKS FOR ME...
