“tall vanilla frapuccino skinny wet with legs”

You’d probably want to specify if it’s “vanilla bean”, or “cafe vanilla/vanilla coffee”. We say “light” for fraps, not “skinny”. Skinny is for lattes, and even those can be limited at times, as it depends if a syrup is available in a sugarfree form. You would never need to say wet, however for a more liquidy consistancy, you can ask for light ice or a double blend.

Trust me, I’m a barista. Every day plenty of people order like that, and we understand after a few questions without any frustration. So on the same end, if we ask you tons of questions to try and make you exactly what you want, please don’t be frustrated with us, or think we’re being rude or trying to ridicule you.

Jam, you are almost correct, but not quite. Frappuccinos don’t have ANY foam in them to begin with. So, as a barista, if someone asked me for a wet frappuccino, I’d just put a little extra milk in it.
Otherwise, you’re good.

I believe “Skinny” now refers to “made with nonfat milk” and sugar free syrup flavouring.
