> there's always this one jerk at the front of the queue

Here in the espresso world, that’s not so bad. But the ‘vanilla oat milk decaf, and also a hot muffin with butter’ is tedious.

There is a roaster in Auckland that’s been there since the ‘80s. On the counter it says ‘espresso, flat white or fuck off’. Clear and concise. I like it. https://millerscoffee.co.nz/



I'd order a "fuck off espresso" in that situation just to see what happens.


That’ll teach them to use Oxford commas.


"On the counter it says ‘espresso, flat white or fuck off’"

Sounds a bit pretentious to me. I generally order a coffee, no milk ... ta.


Try ordering a “just a cup of coffee” in AU/NZ and they will look at you with a blank expression. Espresso is the norm there.


Presumably whoever wrote that sign anticipates this criticism
