What the word originally means is irrelevant for the sake of ordering a drink. What matters is what it means in this context. If the term "grande" refers to the drink size you want, then that is the right term to use. If that's a stupid term, too bad – don't take it out on the workers.

More so than Grande being medium, Tall being the small format is stupid.
