COFFEE Starbucks: Drive-thru signage

Quote:
At Starbucks drive-throughs — one-third of the chain's 11,000 U.S. stores have one — newly redesigned outdoor menu boards advise customers that they can buy Grande (16 oz.) and Venti (20 oz.) sized beverages. Curiously, the signs no longer mention the smaller, cheaper cup size that's still for sale: Tall (12 oz.).

Panda Express has been doing this in their walk up locations, too. Just Medium and Large cups are out for everyone to see on the counter. The small cups are there, you just can't see them. In their defense, they do list the small size on the menu board. But I still say it's trickery and I don't think it's cool.
Yet another installment of how Brad does not love some big businesses and their practices.
