Fellow monkeys,
The following is a serious question: what's a safe drink choice to order at Starbucks for an informational interview?
I know that this will come across as a stupid question to many ("just order what you want to order, it doesn't matter"), but I'd like to avoid even the slightest chance that a banker would consciously or subconsciously tag me for a certain type of individual based off of my drink selection.
Iced soy skinny vanilla latte no whip
Just get a regular coffee. Black.
I don't think anyone cares, but you can't go wrong with regular coffee.
You're thinking way too hard about it...
You don't want to be tagged as the guy who worries about what to order at Starbucks.
Some real advice: Make sure you are relaxed going into the interview, and order a small. You don't want to get too jacked on caffeine because that will make any nerves you have worse.
J&B on the rocks.
you gotta be fucking kidding me OP
all seriousness: regular coffee or regular tea
get regular hot unless its middle of the summer, the regular iced
its so plain that theres no way to label you anything over it
and yes its okay to get skim milk over regular, especially if you're a chick
i dont know whether you'd get a comment as a guy elsewhere, but in NY everyones such a health freak that skim/0% fat is the new default milk
hope it helps. i know everyones picking on you for this but this was a legitimate concern for me at one point.. and I kinda still struggle with what to order at informal networking drinks (i.e. alcoholic bev)
I'd order some self confidence
The longer the drink order the bigger the asshole ...
java chip is fukin delicious, just sayin. lol.
if it's that important: drip coffee, americano, latte, keep it simple. summer? throw some ice in there / iced tea. no fraps
Water
I know that this comes across as a stupid question to a lot of you, but for someone who hasn't had much exposure to coffee in social settings, I think that this is a legitimate question. I go into Starbucks pretty frequently with friends and usually order an iced coffee or frappuccino, but I highly doubt that a caramel frap is considered acceptable in a networking setting.
Thanks for the serious responses. I figured that there's no harm in asking.
I usually go with cranberry juice with a lemon (always ask for the lemon). If they don't have it I get a water with a medium amount of crushed ice, and I drink it with a straw. This works wonders for networking/informational interviews.
next question: who is going to pay?? Are we expecting the check dance? wooo hoo woo
Just like a date: you asked them to join you, you pay.
Martini ... shaken, not stirred.
normal people would just get plain coffee. it's not like starbucks is known for that or anything...
but in your case, since you are obviously a retard, i would suggest asking for something in a sippee cup, you know, so you don't spill shit all over your neatly pressed church clothes with velcro that your mommy laid out for you for your big boy interview.
as i've said before in countless posts, just don't be a weirdo and overthink shit and you'll do fine in your interview.
Double hammerhead. Don't be a bitch.
take a flask
I got jasmine green. wanna know whyy? because thats what I wanted
