The Three Baristas

So spring is here and at Starbucks, that means one thing: Frappuccinos.  Just a hint of warm weather following winter sends people into a Frappuccino frenzy.

All of that is well and good, but as Frappuccinos make a comeback in a big way, it is inevitable that one particular breed of Starbucks customer will surface: The Frap.

The Frap believes that dropping the better part of the word Frappuccino makes them in-the-know and cozy with the baristas. The Frap always says it in the same overly casual way that tries to say “Hey, I know what’s up.”

Unfortunately, the only message that gets across is that they are vacant douches who need to seek vindication from their baristas.

Pro tip: I will not think more of you if you say “Frap” while ordering your Venti extra-pump no whip Double Chocolatey Chip Frappuccino.
