Now that most people have their Covid shots.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
True story -- I was in a Starbucks a few years ago, 3rd in line. The first person ordered something, couldn't tell you what but it had a lot of buzzwords and sounded like a sonnet in a foreign language. The barista listened carefully and processed the order.
Next person in line did the same thing -- it sounded like a hundred syllables of gibberish. Ditto on the barista listening carefully and processing the order.
Now it's my turn. "Vente Coffee". I'm far from fluent in Starbuckese, but it's like asking where the bathroom is in Spanish, I can make myself understood well enough to accomplish the goal.
The barista just stared at me. Ok ... so I repeated, "Vente Coffee".
She shook her head and I realized she had her mind set to interpret some long, detailed order. Someone asking for a large cup of coffee didn't quite compute.
Anyway, she laughed when she realize her mistake, and I got my coffee.
The really funny thing is the same exact situation occurred at a different Starbucks the following week.
