Another Random Language/Usage Question

[gnomi]

OK, you know that counter at Starbucks/Dunkin' Donuts/[insert your favorite coffee place here] at which you place your order and (eventually) your beverage-of-choice is handed to you? Is it the "service counter" or the "serving counter"?

Inquiring minds want to know ("I want to know!").

Thanks!

(by the way, did you find me randomly, or through MAB's journal? Just wondering)

No Prob!

(through MAB. He was my physics teacher... I'm the Annie that showed up at Rashi yesterday at random with my brother in tow.)
