Ha, sorry – must try harder not to post when pissed. My bad.
Am guessing that TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR has never had to work day after day after day in a petrol station serving overpriced caffeine flavoured water to chippy blokes that can’t read a big sign, with descriptions and prices, and everything.
Give her a break, is all I’m saying.
No, I haven’t worked in a Service Station (probably ranks quite highly with other jobs I wouldn’t really want to do), and I’m quite capable of reading a sign thanks. Give her a break? Do you reckon, she’s reading and will be upset?
I think it’s a bit much calling her a stupid cow. She obviously wasn’t clear what you wanted and there was a break down in communication. I’m not surprised she was confused though, as I’m still not quite clear what you were after. Are you asking for 2 extra shots on top of your coffee or your coffee made with two shots? Sounds like you basically bought two drinks in one, which is why it’s expensive and you are probably still totally wired from it, which is why you are so worked up about it all and calling people just trying to do a days job stupid cows…
Costa put 2 shots in most of their drinks anyway.
A breakdown in communication? FFS, maybe my first few words went down the bizzarre road of asking for something not on the menu, due to my obviously retarded translation of various descriptions of available coffee, but let’s just excuse my ignorance for a second and jump all the way to the second time I opened my gob and asked for an extra strong white coffee. Surely that’s not such a preposterous request is it?

What’s this thread even about?
Customer and server in miscommunication.. hardly news is it? This happens to me often but I don’t post on stw about it
It’s about coffee, and me being stupid apparently.
News? Ah, yes, sorry – forgot how jam packed full of news the Chat forum was.
i would like to think she got home and had a rant about this complete idiot that struggled with ordering what he wanted when everyone else seems to manage.
I would like to think she did too, and wouldn’t be surprised in the least, considering her openly patronising, awkward and overly-complicated serving manner. I bet she’s chews the ear off the poor sod that may have the unfortunate task of being her partner.
