While Starbucks is attempting to shake up its image with beer, wine and cured meat, one Starbucks barista did her best to categorize her customers — and their likely order — by everything from race to gender to occupation.
For example, this handy illustration available at yasrsly.com states that:
*If you’re Mexican, you’ll probably order a caramel Frapuccino (with extra caramello)
*If you’re Asian, you’ll enjoy a Black Iced Coffee
*If you’re from India (which would also make you Asian, but the chart doesn’t make such distinctions), you’re going to order a chai.
*Old ladies will order something complicated and 200 degrees Fahrenheit (and will find something to complain about), while a teen girl will order a sweetened passion tea and giggle about it.
*Mechanics order mocha Frappuccino, but Soccer Moms are more complicated, ordering venti, non-fat, no-foam, no water, xtra-hot, double-cupped (w/ a sleeve) chai (or non-fat latte).
The chart even goes on to attempt to stereotype adults with braces, saying they will order “something just as awkward as an adult with braces.”

I am Mexican and I hate anything but coffee flavored coffee. Thus, apparently I am an old cop (of which I am neither).
crap! she got the mexican part right!
Seems kind of dull and self-supporting of the stereotypes, though Mexicans/Cubans and dulce de leche would make sense.
This is so true.
Huh. They hit us Asians right on the mark. I do enjoy the seasonal drinks when they roll around though. Pumpkin spice latte, eggnog latte, yum.
I really do miss the Valencia Mocha though.
I enjoy the sbux by me. I will often have a black coffee or hot chocolate and sit at the outside area. The only problem is when the ‘moms’ swamp the place with double strollers, screaming kids and the occasional fluffy dog.
Interesting list. Especially the part about people from India ordering chai. Everyone I know from India does not consider Starbucks Tazo Chai real chai and won’t drink it.
I like their chai, it was the first chai I ever tried and I would get it with my Mom. I drink other chai brands and homemade chai now, but the Starbucks chai makes me think of Mom.
