ok, when you come into the store and say GIVE ME A COFFEE, first of all.. where the hell are your manners??? second, there are a number of different kinds of coffee, what kind do you want?? third, what size coffee would you like? and forth, what do you take in your coffee? i know damn well if i just gave you a large black you wouldnt be to impressed.. but when i ask what size , what kind you want and what do you take in it..i get a strange look like im supposed to just know what you like..”just give me a coffee” jeez im not a freakin mind reader so please.. when i ask you what you want in your coffee, what size and so on.. please dont stand there holding up the line saying “ummm” , “uhhhh” and finally say “GIVE ME CREAM AND SUGAR” what is so hard about walking in and asking for a medium coffee with cream and sugar, i can almost gurantee its not your first time ordering a coffee, you must already know what you take in it so why be so dumb and rude about it. some people are so ignorant.. you dont hear me saying GIVE ME YOUR MONEY or GIVE ME A TIP no do you?
p.s. thank you to everyone who is polite and has a smile on their faces, you brighten my day like you couldnt imagine =)

So maybe you can explain why I have on several occassions gone in & ordered “a ‘black coffee’ please”…& it comes with sugar ?
Or my favorite…I was once given one with cream & sugar …what you don’t like black coffee, so I can’t have one ???
If someone demands a coffee, immediately reach under the counter and hand them the one you brewed first thing in the morning and let sit there getting cold and waiting for the first rude, vague customer. Next!
Seems they watch a lot of TV…. you know the shows where a random person will walk into the bar and simply order a “beer”. Seems they always magically get whichever kind they are looking for. Or when they walk into a convenience store and order “cigarettes”. Why can’t it be like it is in Hollywood?
Depending on the coffee shop, I hear “give me a tip” all the time.
I frequent various drug dealer/coffee shops in the city (4 of the top of my head), I’ve not once been asked for a tip… I’d change locations if I were you fever.
