techpawn's Journal: The more complicated the coffee order, the bigger the ass

"The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole." - George Carlin

Coffee is something you get when you're half asleep. It shouldn't be like solving a rubix cube. Easy for some of us, but you look like as ass to everyone else when you do it.

I like my coffee black; just like my metal...

Hot, Black

Who reads this crap, or at least admits to it bro.

You get a gold star!

Oh, yeah.

And I agree about the coffee shit. It's another arbitrary way for people to extend a level of CONTROL in their environment - epicurean specificity.

I'm all for extending control over your life. But seriously, it's coffee. When your coffee order sounds like a shopping list you're not taking control of it. You're becoming an elitist prick, at least in my mind, trying sound so much more sophisticated than the plebes with their cappuccino, mocha, or god forbid the person who orders an Americano with cream!

1) life is too short for bad coffee
2) i have a large cappuccino no lid - where I go if the queue is more than 4 people it is normally ready by time I get to the till. Same coffee order twice a day at the same store for 7-8 years does this
3) i really hate the idiots who can't actually decide - 3 or 4 discussing calories abotu the cakes which they end up not ordering and then going for a mocha with cream and whatnot? what is so hard about a coffee order?
