If I go to Starbucks and order a medium anything and am "corrected" by the cashier that it's a "grande" I will stare at the offender until they feel uncomfortable.

If I go to Coldstone Creamery and order a medium anything and they aggressively say "oh, you want a 'love it'," I will tell them no, I want a fucking medium. You don't get to tell me how much I might or might not like it in advance.

Also I hate when Dairy Queen insists that you watch them flip the fucking Blizzard upsidedown. I don't want your meager marketing trick. I want the bad ice cream with candy in it.

    I'm with you on it all except for the DQ thing. There's two bits to that. One is that they kinda force you to do it. The renaming the cups into something they obviously know what you mean? Yeah that's just annoying and no one cares. But if you don't flip it you can get it in shit. Part of that is also due to number 2. Flipping it isn't just a marketing trick, actually checks the ice-cream and stuff as well. If its freshly made and it flips but slides out then the machine isn't setting the icecream to the right temperature and that can indicate other issues.

    Like it's ABSOLUTELY a marketing trick but it's one that is forced on the employees. However at least this marketing trick has an actual secondary purpose instead of just being frilly bullshit for literally no reason.
