Silhouette of a Seattle Siren

I hadn't given this one much thought previously but the Baristas at Starbucks will now be scribbling names on orders (like they already do everywhere else I've been!). More personal perhaps, but also more time efficient - Andrew is far quicker to say than venti - half-skinny , half-1 percent - extra hot - split quad shot latte - with whip.

Some of the comments on the BBC website on the topic are quite amusing - I haven't even looked at what the Daily Mail are saying about it!!!
