For a while I've been making up drinks at Starbucks and once in a while the Barista will scoff at me and make a snooty little face, while saying; "There is a name for that, and it's _______"
And I usually respond by rolling my eyes thinking, "if yallz listed that name on the menu I would order it by name, but thank you anyhow. I am no aware of my lifestyle luxury error" (and now I'm slightly embarassed by the implication of class-less-ness)
anyhow... I had to do a little googling to find that there are way more unlisted menu items than I would imagine, and many of them are cheeper than the listed items. Thanks Starbucks for taking all my money!!! and I do mean ALL MY MONEY!

So people, your mission is clear... below please find a list of Secret Starbucks Confectionary Delights! and use them to piss off your local moody Barista! Oh and after you save that $10, continue with the savings by not tipping! Whoohoo
***oh and don't forget to save your reciept from your morning drink so you can get a drink later for $2! ***
...
Here are all of the Starbucks "Off Menu" items available:
Biscotti Frapuccino:
Buy a biscotti and ask the barista to blend it up with any flavor of frapuccino. It blends into tiny cookie chunks that add a delicious little crunch to your frozen coffee.
Short Drink:
The sizes the “mainstream menu” gives you are “Tall,” “Grande” and “Venti,” but if you say you want the “short” size to any Starbucks drink you can receive a less expensive and smaller sized drink. Although this size is in their cash register, they don’t put it on the menu as a marketing strategy to make customers buy larger and more expensive drinks.
Short cappuccino:
A “Short” cappuccino is a more Italian style cappuccino. Basically this cappuccino leaves out the gallons of milk Starbucks puts in for the more traditional amount of dairy that the drink originated with.
Red Eye:
A shot of espresso in regular drip coffee.
Black Eye:
Two shots of espresso in regular drip coffee.
Green Eye:
Three shots of espresso in regular drip coffee. Not for anyone with a heart condition or road rage issues.
Poor Man’s Latte:
Order an Iced Americano with no water and half ice, then you can add free half and half at the little milk and condiments table. This is the same drink as a Breve Latte but costs much less. Just watch out for the classy police. This is definitely not the most chic thing to be caught doing by your mother-in-law or boss.
Poor Man’s Chai Latte:
Order a Chai Tea Misto with extra foam, two tea bags, and half cinnamon-half vanilla syrup. This is basically the same drink but almost half the price.
Cafe au Lait:
If your French and looking for something nostalgic of your homeland order the Misto without foam for a classic French coffee drink.
French pressed coffee:
You can choose any coffee they sell by the bag and have it served in a French press. For coffee snobs, this is one of the best way to appreciate all of the flavors of the coffee you chose.
Chocolate Cream Frapuccino:
Chocolate syrup and chocolate flavoring. Lots and Lots of chocolate! Do not underestimate the amount of chocolate in this frozen blended coffee. Only for the true chocolate lover

baristas never mind fun drinks, and you should always tip! (unless you REALLY want to display your class-less-ness)
