    Is Starbucks the only coffee shop that requires people to speak Italian? (Honest question from someone who’s never had a desire to go to any coffee shop.)

      Yeah, I’ve been to a lot of cafes, and they all use small, medium, large. Starbucks is just stupid.

      Unless you count “espresso”, “cappuccino” and “macchiato” as speaking Italian, then yes

        I guess we can consider those adopted into English vocabulary since we haven’t replaced them with any English words.

        Kinda like résumé and hors d’oeuvre and a million other French words we have in our normal vocabulary.
