I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as the eldery, brown toothed, Brit asked me for black coffee.
"Black Coffee: that means 'without cream or sugar' dearie."
Reminded me of an old Scottish lady I met once. I told her my name was Jesse.
"Oh, that's what we name the girls in our country."
As my Scottish father-in-law pointed out, I should have retorted "Yes, but they name the gents Beverly there as well." (True)

All about pent-up barista rage and a life dedicated to the pursuit of magnificent coffee. Some of you have complained that you feel insulted when reading this blog. That's ridiculous. Most likely you feel that way because you are over-sensitive and very, very stupid.

i prefer to call men "Nancy"
of course if i call a man "Nancy" it is not usually meant as a positive.
You got to let her off, the UK is back in the dark ages of coffee here there is a need to make it very obvious. I'm just impressed she wanted black coffee :)
