my pet peve

My biggest pet peve from working in a coffee shop is the fact that people don't read the menu.  I don't go to mccdonalds and order a whopper. So why do people come to Caribou and order a Frappacino or a Caramel Macciato? These are not things listed on the menu! This leads me to my second pet peve, the made up terms that starbucks uses.  A frappacino is not a technical term. I believe that people think it is and that it why they come in and order them.  I am not sure what a caramel macciato is but i know that it is not a traditional macciato.  I think that what starbucks calls a macciato is a latte made upside down.  But, my point is that we don't have one of those on the menu! If you would read the menu you wouldn't find one.  Maybe, i am being inconciderate, maybe people can't read. Or maybe they forgot their glasses, who knows.  If that is the case then i don't understand why they don't just ask!
