I am a coffee addict. My coffee to go is Costa. (Please don't judge, that's not the AIBU) I like weak smooth coffee. Starbucks is the coffee of the devil. To me it tastes like someone burnt the beans. I will not, under any circumstances, drink it. IN THE UK.

However I am in the US currently. And the Starbucks coffee is lovely. Bears ABSOLUTELY no resemblance to the crap they sell in the UK.

So AIBU to think as a worldwide brand they should be consistent with their coffee?

However I do think Starbucks are naff demanding your name to put on your cup. I went out recently and on the way there I was contemplating which name to give them. I finally decided on Geraldine (having discounted Albertine as being too far fetched). Yep, today I would be Geraldine.

Get to the counter, order, guy asks my name? What do I reply? Gingangirly. AIBU annoyed I am so programmed to give my name despite already deciding to lie?

But I don't seem able to lie! I really wanted to be Geraldine but my real name automatically came out of my mouth. I was really annoyed!
