   The cafe I loved in Santa Cruz had some visitors from Silly Valley once.

   They: Late, fast free, double shot, decaf, two pumps of caramel, sugar free, nonfat whip.

   ... and another in the same vane.

   All of us regulars are bracing for impact (Stout was a dick, but he was Our dick).

   Stout (Manager/Head Barista): If you wanted a glass of fucking water, why didn't you just ask for one?

   We: 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

   They: Left for SBux up the block.

     @elfin @MissConstrue @Lana Gosh, this sounds awful. In Australia the choices are pretty much the Italian espresso standards: short black, flat white, latte, cappuccino. Take away cups are on display; you point to the size you'd like. It's all about good coffee flavour rather than weird additives or quirky names.

     @MissConstrue @Lana I will not play games Pre Caffeine ... I will hop that counter and mainline beans.

     Making me think Before caffeine is unwise, unhealthy, and possibly terminal.

     Medium Coffee, Two Sugars.

     Anything beyond that isn't happening.

     And *correcting* me with made up size names, I *will* beat some fucker with the grinder and fill their squishy forms with ALL THE STIR STICKS!
