Domande riguardo a frasi esempio con, spiegazione d'utilizzo di "Starbucks"s

A: I've broken the sentence down into two parts. This should be easier to understand:

1. He said it was not disputed that a Starbucks employee drew an image of a smile on the cup as a way of marking it as Ms Foley's cup.
2. The image of a smile on the cup was referred to in the hearing as "slanty" eyes.

From the looks of it, somebody is suing Starbucks for that "slanderous" drawing.

A: I need to put more money on my Starbucks card.

"Top up" generally means "add more of something."

"Can you top up my drink?"

"I want to top up my gas tank before we go on the trip."

A: @jokifreek yes, this is how we would write the sentence if it were the headline in a news article. Grammatically, it should be “Starbucks has been accused of racial discrimination.“

A: the name specifically doesn’t really have a meaning - it’s just what the store is called
(maybe there’s a deeper meaning but I’m pretty sure it’s just a name)

A: Let me try rephrasing this for you and see if that helps. "Go to Starbucks and buy me a coffee." Essentially, that's what this phrase means.

A: The Starbucks means you went to a specific one. Maybe the only one in your town.

A: First of all, it would be "a Starbucks".
If you see "across", think 건너편. In this case, it means the donut store is on the other side of the street of the Starbucks.
The Starbucks in front of the donut store means that it could be across the street from the donut store or they could be part of the same block with the donut store in front of it (앞에 있다).

A: The first one is the best, the second one may be okay in speech only -- it's a bit awkward sounding. The third one doesn't work.

"Locations" in this case refer to "stores". If you say something like "8,000 stores, including California", you are saying that California is a store. That's why the third option isn't acceptable.

A: In American English "shall" sounds very old fashioned and weird. Using let's go sounds much, much more natural.

A: at the Starbucks = at a specific Starbucks

I'm at the Starbucks on corner of 9th and Valley Way.

At Starbucks = at Starbucks, but not specifying an exact location

I'm at Starbucks right now, but I'l pick up the kids from soccer practice afterwards.

A: Both are correct sentences the only difference is the article: a.

"I am at a Starbucks now." Implies that you were at one of the many branches of Starbucks.

vs:

"I'm at Starbucks now." Implies you went to Starbucks and maybe are waiting for a friend or just telling your friend you finally arrived at your destination.

both are correct sentences, but would be more dependent on context.

A:

I often go to Starbucks, so if there is a drink spilled on the floor, I take the initiative to wipe it up.

A: Starbucks in Japan doesn’t allow dogs to enter inside.

A: Saying "to go" is more natural.

You can also remove "size" to make it sound more fluid.

So it would become, "Can I have a tall Americano, to go, please?"

It's also okay to say something like, "One Americano, please. Tall." It's perfectly natural to put the size after the type of coffee, as long as you put a little pause in between.

A: Oh!!!!!!! I get it! Thank a lot(^O^)

A: No “then”

A: Better if you say : the Starbucks that we visited had an awesome view

A: of course 🙈

A: "Did you get something from Starbucks today? They're having a buy-one-get-one-free sale."
This is what I would say.

Also, note that it's better to say "Starbucks is having a buy-one-get-one-free sale today" rather than "Starbucks is buying one and getting one free today". The second sentence means that Starbucks (the store/company) is buying something, not the customer.

A: Is less sticky than the Japanese one* should be the right ending.
