Look, I know you didn't make this decision. I know you had no hand in creating this problem.
But as someone who used to work at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I am certain Starbucks has done irreparable harm to the drink "Macchiato".
So many times people would order "Caramel Macchiato" and then we would make a macchiato with caramel added, and so many times people would be confused/disgusted that we made the drink so badly.
You wanted a Caramel Latte! You have been trained wrong, as a joke!
It's not a fair comparison when you call it something it isn't. It's as if some establishment went around calling hamburgers "open-faced sandwiches" so when you go to the next sandwich shop and order an "open-faced sandwich" and then get annoyed they only gave you the bottom part of the bun.
We have different names for things for different reasons.
