Maybe It Could Be Clearer
I went to Starbucks and ordered a Mint Chocolate Chip Frappacino. What I received was a Mint Mocha Chip Frappacino. Of course, I discovered this AFTER I got back to my office. Perhaps if the names were a little more obviously different the baristas would hear me correctly since this isn't the first time I've had this happen.
Ew, that would suck. I like the mint, but not the peppermint.

Jo - I'm confused. The two drinks you mentioned are actually the same drink.

Did you mean to ask for just a mocha frappe or a java chip frappe instead of the mint mocha chip frappe?

Actually Sheesh, they have a chocolatey chip one which is not coffee based which is what I ordered. I received the one that is coffee based. :( It has happened to me before when I've ordered the double chocolate chip frap instead of the double mocha chip frap.

Ah, the keyword is Creme! Those are the non-coffee blended drinks.

Exactly. The name that I give is supposed to indicate the difference between the coffee drink and the creme drink... hence I order the Mint Chocolat Chip one not the Mint Mocha chip one.

That would've caused me to shoot up the place. When I order a Peppermint Mocha Frappucino that's what I want... not a Chocolate Mint Mocha Frappucino or a Peppermint Java Chip Frappucino. I do not want floaty bits of chocolate or coffee in my drink. And I said NO WHIP! ;) lol.

They should number them like McDonald's value meals.
