Questions for current or former Starbucks Baristas?

Question

Can't seem to figure a few things out, clarification on this would be awesome.

I always get Trenta Iced Coffees, I typically order a Trenta Iced Coffee with half n half. When I get it back and it's read back to me I hear any of these

Trenta Iced coffee w/ Half n Half
Trenta Iced coffee w/ Cream
Trenta Iced coffee w/ Milk
Trenta Iced coffee w/ Breve

So a couple questions, Do they REALLY have cream AND half n half? My buddy specifically orders it with heavy cream and his seems the same to me. Or do they just have one, yet say both because I've seen the sticker on the cup say all 3. Obviously if they put milk in there it would be very noticeable by both look and taste but I've heard it a ton of times and it's never actually been milk in there.

Breve? This one looses me completely. I see the Italian connection with the sizes since Venti and Trenta literally mean 20 and 30 but breve means short, so what's that about?

? · Answer

Breve is steamed half & half with espresso (usually).

I've never seen regular heavy cream anywhere. I know that the half & half they have is the pre-packaged ones. Milk is usually 2% unless you ask for soy or non-fat and is always poured cold for an iced drink. Milk on the counter, however is always whole, non-fat or half & half.

just the one · Answer

I can't comment on the items behind the counter but I add half and half where they keep the sugar, stir sticks, etc.
