I have never met a bigger group of morons in my life than in this thread, congratulations for eliminating my faith in the intellect of humanity.

    everytime I tell people that “baristas” and coffee people can’t comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk.

    Back talk. As in talking back.

    Translation: When I tell you shit, you either agree with the truth I speak, or you shut the fuck up.

    Stars forbid anyone fucking disagree with you and speak their fucking minds. Conversations are one way with you: from you to everyone else.

      Yea, using the phrase back talk makes them seem like a parent talking to a child. Whether I agree with what they said or not that phrase being applied the way they did it got my hackles raised.

      “talking back” is really just an oddly specific way of saying “answering”, generally to acknowledge or ask further clarifying questions.

      OP sounds like my parents, anything I say is talking back. They like to talk at people rather than to people.

        I recall being backhanded just trying to discuss a difference of opinion. I don’t recall the conversation from 30 years ago, only that my opinion was not wanted.

          I read somewhere that emotions create stronger neuronal connections than information. Your emotion of rejection is valid.

      When ordering a black coffee there shouldnt be anyone else ‘speaking their mind’. It’s a plain coffee, no opinions from the barista required. It’s not a negotiation.
