We’ve been running errands, now headed home to watch blu-ray of Event Horizon – I’ve only seen it on LaserDisc. Many times – it’s a fave.

@don_rivers I usually had to ask for an actual cup if I wanted one. But, you know i’m always here, eager for company, and have real cups :)

@don_rivers I’ve lost touch with the current staff, but back in my day, day side always had Chris, the manager, and I trusted his skills.

|
@don_rivers I do try to go easy on pop cafes – if they make it RIGHT, people complain – the masses expect the norm set by *$.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@don_rivers I try to give benefit of doubt and subtly let them know that I know the diff so they’ll make it right (if THEY know the diff).
|
|
|
@don_rivers I’ve yet to find a friendly way to let them know. But "I’d like a 6oz cappuccino" might work.
|
|
|
@don_rivers I’ve usually done it by ordering a macchiato – if they don’t ask "cafe macch or latte macch?", they prob only know pop cuisine.
|
|
|
@don_rivers (starbucks has redefined a macchiato to the extent that it bears zero resemblance to the traditional drink, so it’s a good test)
|
|
|
@don_rivers (but, again, even if they know the diff, they’ll assume you don’t – which is a good business decision, unfortunately.)
|
|
|
@don_rivers Heh, maybe ask the kid behind the counter "If I ask you to make me a cappuccino, what will you hand me?" And go from there.
|
|
|
How do you order at a cafe to let them know you don’t want the *$ recipe? They may know the diff but their job is to serve mass expectation.

Got soooo much done around the house today but got carried away and now i’m starting dinner waaaayyy late :(

Listening to podcasts and making cottage pie for dinner. Hard to defend as particularly healthy but everyone requests it so I obey :P
