Default Starbucks terminology for dummies...

Ok... I have read many threads on starbucks on here. I received a gift card to starbucks last nov for my birthday. Have never gotten around to using it. Well... have been reading a few posts on here about some being addicted to it and how wonderful it is. So, Saturday night my husband and I were at the book store and I decided I wanted to get a cappuchino. Used to be addicted to these at our "kwik trip" grocery stores pre-surgery. I always got the fat-free french vanilla. LOVED em. I have not had one since surgery. Well I went up to the starbucks gal and asked for a french vanilla capuccino with s/f syrup and skim milk. She whipped up my drink. I was so excited to savor it while we chatted and looked at books. Well... it was not what I expected at all. There was no sweetness. Did I use the wrong terminology when I ordered? I still have about $17 left on the gift card and would like to get something good next time. Am I wrong in thinking that it should be sweet and creamy? Please let me know what your favorite is so I can jot it down and order it the next time I am out and about!
I was very disappointed. The gal was young at the counter and had no time for my inexperienced knowledge of their drinks

Thanks... LeaAnn
