    Ah, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to see this. And now I have!

  2. JA Says:

    That is amazing! I think I got as much satisfaction out of that as I would have had I smacked the guy myself!

    The world needs a coffee shop called “Just Coffee” where people are ridiculed for ordering anything beyond the generic.

    And the world also needs more strips like this. Bravo!

    Some months ago Consumer Reports said that 7-11 coffee was better than Starbuck’s. I agree, and I intend to stop at the nearest 7-11 as soon as I leave the office.

  4. E Says:

    Excellent! Here in the Netherlands you start to see the same non-sense. Luckily the default here is still plain old coffee.

  5. Andre Says:

    While I agree that things have gotten a bit ridiculous when ordering a simple coffee with cream and sugar, remember that it isn’t the customer that actually names the product. Unless there is some actual standard at play and people aren’t simply reading what is on the menu when ordering.

  6. Joe Says:

    When I used to go to Starbux, I refused to say anything but “small, medium, or large” coffee. There is no point in speaking Frentalian.

  7. Michael Says:

    I always say “large” as I can never remember the venti and all those other sizes they have. Great cartoon.

  8. KaceTheAce Says:

    haha… I’ve always wanted to do that to the people who come up with some ridiculous order and say it quickly AND quietly and lean back so you can’t hear them over the espresso machine…

    Port City Java is better than Starbucks and 7-11!

    You know, when I pay 3.75 - 4.50 for a cup of coffee at starbucks, you better believe I am gonna have it made exactly like I want. If you dont like serving coffee the way customers want it, get another job.

    funny … I always wanted to slap those waiters/waitresses rattling off a long list of things to choose from with the result that I as a customer felt utterly stressed by having (with a queue of 15 people behind me) on-the-spot to decide on something so insignificant as to whether I want skimmed or semi-skimmed or whatever in my café au lait …

  11. bestinthebiz Says:

    whatever happened to the good old canadian basic “double-double”?

    ;)

  12. Jane Says:

    My main question for DasBling is: “Why are you paying 3.75 - 4.50 for A CUP OF COFFEE!!!!!!”

  13. Dev Kanchen Says:

    Topic’s kinda old but coffee’s a pet subject! :D Oh well, down here in India you have the good old ‘half’ coffee or cutting tea, which is basically half a teensy cup of plain old coffee/tea served piping hot! :P Variety ho!

    anyone read Questionable Content (questionablecontent.net)? Faye and Dora could totally own this place…

  15. Wugga-wuggz Says:

    Yah, Faye and Dora belong here.
    If you want to drink coffee, order it. If you want to drink a real drink, you get coffee.
    If you don’t, get out of my office.

    Low fat. No whip. Soy chai. Bah!
