Starbucks Behavior Analysis
Despite being dismayed at the banality of having the same cloned store everywhere, I kinda like Starbucks once in a while. But I've always been annoyed at their silly terminology for cup sizes: Grande, Venti, and whatever the other one is. I always proudly ask for a medium. Turns out, this behavior makes me an "antiventi". I'm also a bit of a "hesitipper" unless the change is so small (two cents for example) that the tip would seem insulting and I actually wait for the guy not to be looking so I can just toss the pennies in the jar. You could do some serious psychological studies in a Starbucks. Banterist has more.
