This used to happen to me all the time when I was a barista!! People would ask for no foam cappucinos, or they would order a cappucino and bring it back and say "Excuse me, this cappucino is half foam!". One time a customer ordered a cappucino and brought it because "there's no chocolate in this cappucino". I was in a…

Yes, your comments are definitely living proof of, uh, something. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm keeping my baby of the pole. By any means necessary.

Oh my god, I could write a book about people who don't understand coffee drinks. Like, they aren't just what YOU think they are. "Macchiato" caused me tons of problems. I worked at a non-Starbucks, you see, and people would order a macchiato, expecting some sort of caramel milkshake. But it's simply espresso with…

iced cappuccinos are literally the devil's work. why do they exist. why do the customers insist on extra foam.

THANK YOU! Former Starbucks barista. I got the no foam cappuccino a few times and it was always perplexing. But seriously, iced cappuccinos are THE most disgusting thing ever. You understand that I am steaming this milk and then pouring hot foam over ice right? You are basically sucking down a venti cesspool of…

And in California, we say "Dude" or "like". In Mexico, I noticed an ehm.

See, chicken fried steak is definitely not a regular menu item where I am from. I have encountered the concept a couple times here and there, but never seen, let alone consumed one. I assumed it was some weird, original version of the KFC Double-down thing involving both chicken AND steak, or steak fried with chicken…

"I need you to remove the thing that makes this what it is." ~American dining public.

I truly had no idea what they were until I read a menu and happened to catch on to the actual beef part of the description! (Also I am one of those person who will order an iced cappuccino if it is on the menu but really I want an iced latte or any cold thing with milk and espresso and won't get cranky about foam).

I didn't know what chicken fried steak was until I was in my 20s. I think it's a common mistake, especially for those who didn't grow up with it. (Is chicken fried steak a southern thing? ) When my eyes saw fried + chicken on the menu, I assumed it was fried chicken. And steak, by the way, does not always refer to…

This is apparently so common a diner I often eat at has added chicken fried chicken with biscuits and gravy to their menu.

I once ordered and iced latte from a coffee counter at a fancy grocery store. Obviously dude was filling in and not well trained on the coffee counter because he steamed the milk.

And see? Your friend has secured his/her place as a decent person. It's fine to be wrong, or not know something. Just don't be a dickwad about it.

That first story reminds me of when I was a young waitress (probably 16?) who'd just moved up from dishwasher and prep cook at a small-town restaurant. The chef told me, in her thick German accent, to put a Porterhouse on the specials board. I'd never heard of one, asked her to repeat it, and then confidently wrote…

also honestly her form seems better than his~

You know the journalist Jessica Chastain was speaking of wanted her to say something along the lines of "Don't take naked pictures of yourself." Glad she was quick on her toes and didn't give the satisfaction of that bullshit response.

I think that Mindy has a good point. I watch the show and love her - but her show doesn't really cover any serious medical issues. It's not like they've talked about STDs when 1/2 sexually active young adults gets one. I know that it's disappointing that we skirt around the issue of abortion on television, but I don't…

I feel that if Kaling's show actually did go beyond her character - who is incredibly shallow and unlikeable at times - the show might be more interesting. As it is, the show could be doing more to comment on serious issues (doesn't necessarily have to be abortion) and explore how her character would respond to those…

I'm glad she's feeling better about it, but this doesn't relieve me of having to see Colin Jost attempt to do jokes every week.
