13. Most of the time I ask, but if you don’t tell me what you want, I’ll give you the defaults.
For coffee, that means without room for your cream. For lattes, that probably means without whipped cream, depending on the place. I’m no mind reader, so let me know.
Because if you don’t, it could lead you to try and do this…
14. The trashcan is not for pouring out excess coffee.
I will reiterate: IF I FORGET TO ASK, PLEASE ASK FOR ROOM IN YOUR COFFEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD CREAMER.
When you pour your coffee into the trash, it makes the trash bag heavier to lift out of the bin and messier to clean up. Plus sometimes the bag BREAKS EVERYWHERE and it’s a disaster.
15. There are certain things you ask for that I simply cannot do because they defy the laws of physics, so don’t be an ass when I tell you, “I can’t.”
Cappuccinos can only be served hot in order to make the espresso shots sit on top. When you try to make one with cold milk, they just mix. It’s also – wait for it – a drink with lots of foam, so asking for a “bone dry cappuccino,” makes you an asshole, and asking a “cappuccino, no foam” makes you an idiot.
Also, soy milk is naturally foamy, so making a soy latte without foam is virtually impossible. I’m not being rude, it’s just science.
