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.
OP went to McDonald's (it reads McCafé, and the colours are right) and is trash talking minimum wage employees because he couldn't be fucked to be clear in communication, and likely couldn't offer a modicum of respect for the employees.
Your expectations are way too high for McDonald's. They are not baristas, and most importantly, they are most likely teenagers. It's not impossible you accidentally got someone else's coffee, too. Shit happens. Stop being a child about it, and politely ask to switch it out.
OP, you have issues. Also, your car is fucking disgusting, I feel bad for whatever mechanic has to work on it. Start with that, you have bigger problems in life.
I have never once had a problem with "coffee, black". Doing more would require extra work, you're telling me someone went out of their way to put a little cream in your coffee?
At most you were perhaps given the wrong order.
Clean your car before whatever is growing in it becomes sentient.
The coffee looks gross, but somehow not the most infuriating part of this image
I had to go back and check. OP what the fuck
I mean, I have Starbucks right around the corner. They ask if I want cream or sugar, and how much. If I said nothing, they'd add nothing and hand me black coffee.
OP is more infuriating than the post lol
Weird. I only drink black and this has never happened to me. Not sure why you're getting the short end of the stick
I also only drink it black and have never had this happen to me.
Can I get a black coffee?
So, like, less sweet?
No, just black coffee
Any creamer?
No, just black coffee
Want me to save some space in the cup for your own creamer?
No, just fill my cup up all the way with black coffee
Lol your dirty cupholder is also mildly infuriating.
It's fucking nasty. My car is overdue for a clean and this is what mine looks like (we got coffee just this morning)
Mildly?? I forget how filthy so many people are. This was an unwelcome but necessary reminder lol
Clean your car
everytime I tell people that "baristas" and coffee people can't comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk.
Back talk. As in talking back.
Translation: When I tell you shit, you either agree with the truth I speak, or you shut the fuck up.
Stars forbid anyone fucking disagree with you and speak their fucking minds. Conversations are one way with you: from you to everyone else.
Yea, using the phrase back talk makes them seem like a parent talking to a child. Whether I agree with what they said or not that phrase being applied the way they did it got my hackles raised.
"talking back" is really just an oddly specific way of saying "answering", generally to acknowledge or ask further clarifying questions.
OP sounds like my parents, anything I say is talking back. They like to talk at people rather than to people.
I recall being backhanded just trying to discuss a difference of opinion. I don't recall the conversation from 30 years ago, only that my opinion was not wanted.
I read somewhere that emotions create stronger neuronal connections than information. Your emotion of rejection is valid.
When ordering a black coffee there shouldnt be anyone else 'speaking their mind'. It's a plain coffee, no opinions from the barista required. It's not a negotiation.
What is this comment?
What's with all the negative comments, people? Lemmy / Piefed used to be such a welcoming place.
OP, I'm sorry you got your coffee order messed up. Hope you got it sorted.
Because OP is being a twat to minimum wage employees.
Getting the wrong order sucks, losing your shit over a wrong order shows poor emotional regulation. Also, "back talk" is code word to "I bark orders at people"
"Baristas don't know how to make extremely popular and simple drink" has always been a dumb take.
The McDonald's coffee machine does not have an option for black coffee. It always has cream in it. Go to a real coffee shop and not McDonald's. 🤦♂️
You're literally just lying.
It's literally a latte machine and the one I work at only has buttons for the size of the drink you're making and the on/off switch. It mixes steamed milk into the coffee. That's what a latte is.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such frustrating experiences with coffee. I wonder if my experience could help you in navigating your experience.
When I order coffee I always see how they do it.
I don’t do it to complain. In fact, even if they get my order wrong I rarely ask for a change, because whatever they give me is usually alright.
I see how they do it because I’m curious. I like to know what their process is like. I like to know what machines they use. I like to know how they organize work in the coffee shop. I like to see their technique.
Because of this curiosity, I usually understand quite well why my coffee ends up the way it does.
Yes, I am a customer. Yes, I could insist that my drink has to be different. But I prefer to accept that life is unpredictable and that we are all human. And it’s usually alright.
Here’s a video that could help: https://youtu.be/OXbQx2hfA5k
Life is alright if you accept entropy as a natural part of it.
It's not rolling with the punches, it's being happy with life making itself less monotonous.
I once accidentally got served an iced latte with macadamia nut milk instead of cow milk and discovered that I really like it.
Thats pus.
I'll always add ".... No creme or milk please" after asking for it black, I know it's the same thing twice but it twigs a 'could this guy have a milk allergy' thought now and again.
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.
That cream is no doubt heavily interfered with
