Currently sitting in a “global chain coffee emporium”

After ordering a simple “white americano, small, cold milk” (as I always do)

Why oh why do they insist on filling the cup up right to the very top, with 1.3mm of space between lip and coffee….. and no bloody milk!!

And the inevitable walk back to the counter to ask “pour half of that away, at least leave me some room for the milk you forgot to put in”

I’m so annoyed, I want to write to my PM and complain  that these are the simple things we should get right, not prattle on about MP’s being shouted at.

Very annoyed, oh so very annoying 🤮😤🔥

Sends hugs xxx

A chain?

Not some boutique foo-foo more than gastro place?

Dry your eyes, sweetcheeks! 😊

What would I do?  Drink some of it, add some milk, drink a bit more, add more milk until I was happy.

Life’s too short to be cross.

Go somewhere more chi-chi that takes your order requirements seriously.

2 meny sneks.

What would I do? I wouldn’t order child’s coffee 😉

your problem was ordering a ‘white’ americano

It’s no “gastro”

Its a global chain.

I am still frothing!

(see wot I did dare)

I’d do what molgrips said or calmly walk up to the person that made it, then throw the coffee in their face whilst screaming something about Brexit or Trump

milk?

In coffee?

Get in the sea.

If you will order a girls drink then what do you expect?

OP really should check that white privilege. So not cool any more.

BikeBouy earlier:

U ok hun??!

Joe’s right you know.

You got the two drinks you ordered.

an americano

a small, cold milk

Order a latte next time darling. You could ask for a white coffee, but they probably wouldn’t know what the hell you were talking about, and possibly report it as a hate crime.

It’s a jungle out there.

Pour some into the bin, then they’ll regret it later when changing the bin. That’ll teach ’em

it annoys me as well.

I think it’s because lots of people make coffee like they make tea, ie, just a splash of milk. whereas IME (by which I mean, me obviously) most people who like milk in their coffee, they like quite a bit more than a splash.

but Molly’s right, life’s too short for getting cross about it.

It’s people like you with ya moaning and bleating that make coffee shops give me 2/3rds of a cup when I ask for a black Americano. Nope fill it to the ruddy top! 🙂

OP. An Americano is a black coffee. If you ordered a carbonara with beef then you’d get a normal carbonara and likely no beef, because carbonara doesn’t contain beef. Same principle. Try asking for a flat white. It’s what you’re after.

Flat White !!

I don’t need nuffin deflatin’..

I feel sorry for the staff having to put up with such bellendery.
