    I stopped going to coffee shops because apparently “black coffee” is just too mind-bending for them.

    So this is a great idea that wouldn’t work. People who pour coffee from one vessel into another for a living, simplt cannot do so without injecting additional ingredients.

      This is such a dumb boomer thing to say. I have worked at multiple starbucks locations and i go to coffee shops all the time. I usually order a black house coffee. I have never been to or worked at a coffee shop baffled by black coffee. It is the easiest thing to serve. I promise baristas are relieved to hear you say black coffee as it means less work for them. They probably asked if you wanted a dairy/alternative and you got mad about that for some reason. Also, maybe don’t be a dick to people working a job just trying to live their lives when it seems like you can barely rub two braincells together to effectively communicate what you want.

        “EVERY time I go to a SHITbucks, the blue haired SJW behind the counter is too busy TAKING SELFIES and HATING MEN to pour my coffee!”

      It’s because filter coffee, espresso, ristretto, lungo, and americano are all “black coffee” with no extra ingredients and all different.

      Wow if you were going for a pompous caricature, you just about nailed it. I’m surprised you didn’t call other drinks “froufrou” and point out that you’re a real man for drinking it black.

      I’m not saying everyone who drinks their coffee plain is arrogant but boy are there a lot of you.

        Hey if you want some arrogance try this, learn how to read.

        The thrust of my comment is that people who pour coffee for a living cannot process the concept of black coffee.

        Best of luck with your education, I hope you stay in school so you don’t end up as an incompetent “barista” 😘

          Oh no, I understood your comment perfectly fine. Thanks for confirming my suspicion, though. Enjoy your unfounded pride!

            Take your medicines and consider returning to therapy.

            You desperately need help .
