Skinny latte
One of the awesome perks for working at my company is that they pay for our coffee/tea drinks from Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. There is a gift card for each place, and they are both pretty much loaded up with unlimited funds. When you want a latte, coffee, frapp, iced green tea, etc you just grab the card and go on your merry way.
There’s usually a crew that goes to Starbucks in the morning, and one that goes in the afternoon. We need to be caffeinated twice a day to handle all of this work…lol!
So yesterday I joined the afternoon crew (I run on Dunkin in the morning for my coffee!). I ordered a tall nonfat cinnamon dolce latte. I prefer the latte made with 2% milk, but let’s face it – I don’t need those extra calories. The girl asked if I wanted the sugar free syrup, and I said NO! I want the regular syrup.
So I get back to my office with my drink and I take a sip. EWWWWWWW. They used that sugar free crap. Ugh. It totally ruined the entire drink. I’d gladly take the stairs up 22 flights of stairs to my office if that meant never having to drink that sugar free garbage again. Apparently it’s a “skinny latte” – ick.
Please tell me one thing – Who drinks this crap and thinks it tastes good?!
I swear to you that motor oil would’ve tasted better to me. It left this super nasty after taste in my mouth. I couldn’t even drink it. I hope the trash enjoyed it, because I sure as hell didn’t.

I get it skinny because the sugared stuff is too sweet. Besides sugar does a number on my insides. But that's just my situation. Next time you'll know to tell them so they don't ruin your drink. Sorry they messed it up.

That is one nice perk! I always get sugar free. I think it tastes fine. My typical order is a SF caramel machiatto, either hot or iced depending on the weather. They use the SF vanilla in those…try that next time, it really tastes good.

That sugar free syrup tastes horrible. They always ask me if I want sugar free and I respond, "If I wanted to drink rubbing alcohol, I'd say yes but quite frankly – NO!" They tend to agree – it's horrid!Hey – unlimited 'Bucks & DD? Now that's a great perk
