Starbucks Hacks:
There%u2019s an 8oz cup called %u201CShort%u201D as opposed to the holy trinity of Tall-Grande-Venti. It%u2019s never advertised, but I successfully ordered it on occasion.I learned a new trick, which I am not planning on using, but which surprised me. I found a tiny sticker which outlined Starbucks refill policy. It reminded me that Spongebob episode where Bubble Bass pointed out to the microscopic print on the Crusty Crab menu that outlined the refund policy. Anyway, it seems like the rule is that if you finish your drink within the hour, you can ask for a refill in the same cup at an unspecified reduced price. How will they know if you consumed your drink in an hour? There%u2019s a label on the cup that records the time when the drink was ordered. You can also apparently bring in your own cup and have it filled at 30 cents off or so.
You can ask for free coffee grinds at any Starbucks store to use as fertilizer for your garden or farm.
