What I don’t get is why.
As in — Why a Starbucks action figure? Why a barista selling ventis and grandes?
I found this one at Jones Coffee. Why? Well, the fact that Jones Coffee buys most of its coffee from a Guatemalan farm that sells a third of its coffee to Starbucks may’ve had something to do with it.
Do Starbucks carry these? I haven’t spotted them at the mermaid’s own stores as of yet…
Regardless, I sorta want a green LA girl action figure –
It’s not a ~Starbuck’s~ Barista Action Figure, it’s an Archie McPhee Barista Action Figure. But I’m guessing the green apron is no coincidence, since Archee McPhee is located in Seattle, where Starbuck’s IS the local neighborhood coffee house :)

..but you also get: “two different sized cups (tall and grande) that she can hold in her hand.”
I am still trying to figure out why the tall is so short and why the grande is not the biggest. Oh the lingo..
..be bold

She’s not a Starbucks barista because she’s totally not in dresscode. ;)

I actually had to google Archie McPhee :P Interesting about the Seattle thing though! And dude, she’s totally a wayward Starbucks barista! I don’t think you can see this in the pic, but the cups have Starbucks’ sizes on them :P
