I have tea, indeed i do - but there is coffee in my veins, and i pay
homage to juan valdez every morning at 6:30 sharp from a perfectly feng
shui round mug.
it has to be bold. it has to be sweet. it has to be perfect or i'll be blind all day.
on saturday, i went to the drive thru at a nameless here forevermore
fast food place. it's only nameless because i refuse to utter its
name now...and asked for coffee. they wanted to know - how many
creams? sugar? well heck, i didn't know, that depends on
how long the pot has been sitting there or how weak it was brewed, so i
made a guess. 3 of each.
and so...i pulled through, got my coffee, looked for the cream in the bag and there was none.
"excuse me, miss, can i have some cream for this?"
"it's in your cup already."
i popped the lid, sipped it, parked and went in for more sweet.
there was none! so i asked for it.
"you'll have to bring your cup in so we can squirt it in," i was told.
now, you might think i'm making too much of this, but coffee is a very
personal thing - a customer should have the opportunity to make it to
his or her liking without passing their cup back over the counter with
her lip prints all over it so someone can squirt in it.
and i do realize that some folks like 20 packs of sweetner and half a
cup of cream and that there has to be SOME portion control, which is
why i thought they didn't put cartons of half and half on the
counters instead of those little sealed mini-ramikins, you know?
i didn't take my coffee cup back in...i drank it as it was, and didn't
enjoy it, but wasn't about to waste it. and now i know where NOT
to take a coffee break.
i'm going to burger king, where i can still make it MY way. :-)
i'm done ranting now.

An imperfect cup of coffee is a waste of time, taste, calories and money! I don't blame you a bit. Here's to better!
I cannot imagine going through all of that! I am very picky about coffee, too! And I add cream until it is the "right" color. And you can't just count that, you know??? Jae
Well my word! Never heard of such thing. Burger King sells us senior citizens a cup of coffee for 27 cents. Aren't they nice? Paula
O.M.G.!!! I bet I know which fast food place is remaining nameless. I was shocked when I ordered coffee one day and was asked how many creams and sugars. Like you, I had no idea they were going to put it in for me. I really do not like that at all! I'll fancy up my own cup of coffe, thank you very much.
