What ****es me off (aside from the already mentioned fact that it all

That's one thing I won't do. I order a "small" and let them figure it
out. Some times I *have* be there, but I don't have to speak their
language.

Sometimes, on the road and in need of a fix, it's the only thing I can
find.
I ask for a small coffee. They say our sizes are ibitty, bibitty,
blah.....
I say are those the names of the various sizes of cups you serve? They
say
yes sir. Well then, GIVE ME THE SMALL ONE!

(For a retail cup of coffee, though, it beats most other places. Most
other places for me being fast food, gas stations, & convenience
stores. Oh yeah, and the office.)

Somewhat surprisingly, the Kwikee Marts around here (well, some of them
anyway) are starting to use something more akin to boutique coffees and
brewing them directly into giant thermos jugs. Still ain't the nectar of
the Gods, but it's a damned sight better than what's been available for
at
least the last forty years.....and much better than Starbucks.

I think that if you had any clear idea of how this is affecting me, you'd
stop.
