Here’s my “black coffee” this morning.

Double infuriating: everytime I tell people that “baristas” and coffee people can’t comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk. Here’s the first coffee I’ve ordered in 10 years because of this persistent problem, guess what, they lived up to the complaint… they can’t formulate the concept of black coffee in their own mind.

    I accidentally had dairy for the first time in years the other day for a similar reason. Local café. Ordered some tofu and a mocha with oat milk. Nothing else. Get my order, and the mocha has dairy whipped cream (the only kind they have). Nowhere on the menu does it say it comes with whipped cream. No one making it stopped and wondered “huh”. I wasn’t even with anybody to pawn it off onto. And sending it back means it just goes in the trash.

    It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

      My wife orders oat milk for her cream top kind of drinks that have been trendy lately and they usually give her a warning. I think people are mom and pop cafes are a little more mindful of customers, though.
