I work PT at a coffee shop, we also have 4 sizes. Personally, I think this is not worth the trouble. People understand 3 sizes. Small, medium, large. 3 sizes! Easy! But, I am not the boss.

Whenever I am at a Starbucks and they ask for my name on the cup I tell them it is Sparticus. A few bitchy girls have refused to write it though...

I always order a small...death* to anyone who won't accept that and makes me repeat the order as "I'd like a tall coffee" *death is to be interpreted as a frown and a condescending look that says "really?"

So when you order a small, do you get a short or a tall?

When they call the name, do you go "I am Spartacus!"

G********, you beat me to the punch. Next time I go to Starbucks I am going to do this. I'll have to make sure that there are a few people old enough to get it.

I was going to say - she misspelled Spartacus. Which, incidentally, is a much better way to annoy English majors, myself included. It's nowhere near misuse of punctuation marks though, that is the worst.

Absolutely.

This thread has inspired me to use kickass names in public locations

I like to reserve tables under the name Cunth.
