When you are at a coffee shop ordering your drink, which type of customer are you?

[Jepsen]

It can be overwhelming when you walk into a coffee house and the barrista asks you what you want despite the quizzical look on your face.

This is probably a question to a unsolved mystery that haunts him for years now. :D

[PinkFeatherBoa]

I always say "a cup of tea please"

Then look at the menu and quickly add "just normal tea..."!

And then freak out at the fact it costs me more than a beer.

[Simba T Lion]

I say what its called and what adjustments I want done to it. Easy to understand. Easy to comprehend. I don't understand the difficulty with ordering coffee.
Example:
Medium skim maple macchiato with an extra shot, easy on the foam with a dash of cinnamon.
or
medium skim white choclate mocha with whip

size/milk type/flavor/coffee type/add ons and toppings

I'm confused at what confuses other people

[Bri-namite]

"Hiya, can I get a large cappucino please, mate?"

[Dr Pirate]

Do not feed the noob, he's working for starbucks ;[[

No one calls a medium coffee "grande" and no one calls the jackass's behind the counter "barristas" without working for starbucks ;[

Yep, I'd throw you out. :p

[VinylVicky]

I just say "large vanilla latte to take away please" Then I say "thanks, bye"

[Man Of Kent]

Dude, it's Venti Mocha with a shot and whip to go.

£2.57 of my heard earned cash and a raise in my BP to come...

[Tweety]

Glass of water please :p

I went to Starbucks and I was not very impressed with their cake.

Down with Starbucks :yippe:

[rachie004]

It depends what coffee shop I'm in for what my drink will be called

Typical none helpful post but if everyone else can do it....

[JustWondering]

Is there an option for

"Are you crazy paying so much for coffee, I could get a meal for that and then walks out"

Seriously the whole coffee shop thing is way out of hand!!

[lea_uk]

I usually ask for a regular latte or regular mocha.

[Babyshambler]

I don't drink hot drinks in Starbucks, I have one of those fruity icey things. Fit.

:yes: :yum:

Costa do like milky creamy fruity icey things which are just delish :heart:

[Nikki*]

If I have a hot drink out, it will be a hot chocolate. If they manage to make that complicated I'll cry. I don't like coffee though and I only like my tea :)

I do like the Cafe Nero Fruit Boosters though :yum:

Don't they have about 5million calories in them? Frappacino or something.

[Bunnie]

Don't they have about 5million calories in them? Frappacino or something.
yes, but oh so worth every single one!!
they do a light one now, but its just not the same.
i just order what it says on the menu, its not rocket science really.
a) pick what you want
b) read what it says off the menu
c) repeat what it says on the menu to the man/woman behind the till
d) man/woman will tell you ho much money they want from you
e) pay man/woman behind the till

Not that hard when you think about it.

[Babyshambler]

Don't they have about 5million calories in them? Frappacino or something.

Yeah, but who cares? Not meeee! I only have them on rare occasions anyway, like raging hangover days.

When I was in Leeds, they had this little stand thing that made the fittest smoothies. The guy made me one and was like 'You've never had one before, have you? TRY IT!!' in front of this massive queue. Well embarrassed. But it was well nice.

[Simba T Lion]

I'm a starbucks wanker, I know exactly what I want and I ask for it: "grande skimmed caramel macchiato with extra vanilla please" :o

:yum:

Oh that sounds delicious, I must try

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Yeah, but who cares? Not meeee!

:thumb: That's my opinion on most things like that! :D

[Babyshambler]

I think it's better when you actually give it a quick thought. Like 'Umm, that's a bit calorific, maybe I should steer clear... oh sod it, I'll have 3 of them - large, please!!!' There's some weird satisfaction to it. ;)

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Yes! Like thinking you shouldn't have a big chocolate sundae for desert and then thinking bugger it, I want to eat it and I'm damn well going to. WITH cream.

Tis only calories after all, and I'm not eve sure I know what they are!

Another good one is "omg I'm so poor I cannot afford to buy decent food for 2 weeks. Oh that's a nice book/CD/pair of shoes, I'll 'av that!"

[SuzyCreamcheese]

i ask for the thing I want, by whatever name they call it on the menu.

[Babyshambler]

Yes! Like thinking you shouldn't have a big chocolate sundae for desert and then thinking bugger it, I want to eat it and I'm damn well going to. WITH cream.

YES. Usually that kind of thought involves alcohol for me, though. Like 'It's midnight, I've got work at 7am, should I go home now? Ahh, is that Cheeky Vimto mine? I'll stay out a bit longer then!'

That usually equates to me rolling in at 4am with 2 hours sleep for work... :o

[lucifer devil]

i'm just there for the baked goods i'm afraid! don't like coffee.

[melanie]

double orange mocha please with no cream and then i bat my eyelashes and the guy would give it me for free or a pound because i probably spent 2/3 of my student loan in coffee evolution during the past 4 years

oh how i miss huddersfield

[Kermit]

I always ask for a filter coffee, and only frequent places that serve ponce-free coffee. Cream is an added bonus.

[purplebutterfly]

I dont go in them ever - I'm still on my starbucks boycott (theres one right opposite my office - I can even see the bloody thing out of my window!)

I prefer a Shakeaway (milkshake shop) any day over a coffee shop.

[Char_Baby]

Double Espresso in a big cup filled up with hot water please :yes:

Sometimes they get all shitty about that, if so I'll have an 'Americano' though I hate saying that word.
