Why do they say things twice at Starbucks? E.g., for venti iced coffee they say "ICED venti ICED coffee".

Question

Why do they say "iced" 2x?

Answer 1

the first "iced" is so they know what cup to puck up,, the second iced id to remind them to make it actually iced.

otherwiise the person might make a normal venti coffee in an iced venti coffee cup. stupid i know, lol. saying it twice helps the person make it.

Answer 2

Cause they like repeating themselves!!

Yeah i know what you mean though it drives me crazy, why cant they just say ICED venti or coffee? It stupid!!

Answer 3

so the barista's know what to make!

and probably to confirm your order so that they don't make a mistake.

Answer 4

because its the proper "starbucks lingo" way of calling it out

but i just say iced venti coffee....

i think it sounds funny too....

and thats the ONLY thing a barista may say twice....

Answer 5

so they know what cup to use!

Answer 6

because that is what the buttons on the register say.  they have to push the size button "iced vent"  then the beverage button "iced coffee"
