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.

    This problem seems to unique to you. What exact words did you use? I only drink black coffee, and in the decades I’ve ordered it from myriad coffeeshops, there has been a single time that I received a coffee with cream on it - and that was because I ordered a “regular” at Café Du Monde, which the menu clearly states is cafe au lait, so I quickly learned that it was entirely my own fault for not paying attention and not using amply descriptive words to communicate my desires.

      This is 100% OP not actually saying they want black coffee or (which is my bet) they’re such a POS that their order gets made wrong on purpose, probably with some unsavoury extras in it.
