Walks away confused and coffee-less.

Had that just yesterday. On the menu there's Cappuccino, Froccachino, Fuckachino etc. and Fresh Coffee. I ask for a tall (i.e. small?) Fresh Coffee.

"What kind of coffee" she asks, and starts to reel off the menu.

The thought of going into Starbuck's or Costa and asking for a simple, old fashioned regualr coffee fills me with dread. Do they even do such a thing? And paying a laughable price for it as well.

Never been back.
