Which Starbucks Stereotype Are You?
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.”
