A previous thread about Starbucks abroad got me thinking more about my preferred drinks: doppio macchiato and double-short cappuccino.

At times, when I attempt to order an 8oz drink, I'll get a cashier who claims that there's no "short" key on the register, at which point I'll just get a doppio and add my own milk. This is despite the fact that they do have short cups available for espresso and kids' drinks.

I've found this to be the case mainly at non-standalone counters (like at the airport or Target).

Is there a "standard" keyboard layout for these registers, and if so, how can I tell the cashier to properly ring up a short drink if they claim no "short" key?
