I'm the woman who mulls over the menu, and then comments, "I want something without much coffee in it..." The barista, trying to be helpful, recommends the various non-coffee selections, including smoothies, blended ices, Italian sodas, and teas. I nod affirmatively, then say, "You know, I think I'd really like a latte."
After a moment of incredulous silence, the barista gently tries to point out that a latte has espresso in it. I shake my head and grumble, "I know that, but could you make it with a little less coffee?"
When I get my latte made with only half a shot of espresso, I complain that it doesn't taste like it should and give it back to the baristas, asking for "just a little more" coffee in it. They add another shot of espresso, but when I taste my drink this time, I am overwhelmed with the coffee flavor. I angrily give my drink back and ask for a refund.
It's very nice to meet you.
