I looked at the massive board, with hundreds of different kinds of coffee. Pretty soon the words lost all meaning.
Then I reached the front of the queue.
"I'll have a.. um, regular coffee please."
"What?"
"Just a normal coffee"
The guy didn't have a clue what to do!
"Um, okay... a.. cappaucino.. no, a grande latté..."
"Okay, fine"
It still didn't turn out to be a regular coffee, and he charged me over £2 for it.
It's happened before though - ask for a regular coffee, nobody has a clue what to do.
At least it proves one thing - not even the staff have a clue what all the different versions are.
You must come out of there with more mixing skills than a cocktail waiter.

"A standard coffee please"

I stand looking at the board reading the little descriptions and they still don't help me.
I bought a Frappachino once though, it was like vanilla milkshake but it cost me about £3.50.
Sure I've probably murdered a mexican coffee planter, but goddamit that sugar rush gets me every time.
Nyeeeeeowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I looked at the coffee, then to him.
He looks at me.
To the coffee and then him.
He looks at me quizically.
"Cream?" I ask helpfully
"Huh?"
"It comes rammed with whipped cream and caramel sauce?"
"Does it?"
I point at the picture on the card standing next to his big dumb head
Sure, if he's a molecular biologist I'm going to bow down to his knowledge.
But this is coffee.
