You're right. My Aunty Anne wanted to go to one and said she had to go all the way from her home in Newcastle to London to visit the bank. But then I looked online and saw they even had one in Newcastle now. So I Santander Edited November 24, 2016 by Stevo985 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I tell you what cheers me up. I am on a diet all week till thursday night, then I go to the pub, see what guest ales they have, have 2 pints of guest ales, go home, eat high calorie convenience food, drink wine, watch the celebrity. The last bit has changed but this has been my thursday for at least 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three sizes: small, medium and large. And they don't need to know my name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don't need to know my name. There used to be (and may still be) a 4th size not listed on the menu (short). So ordering a medium confuses them. I refused to say "grande" for the longest time but eventually found the energy required to maintain this noble act of defiance wasn't worth it. Also, it started to feel as though I was being more pretentious in refusing to say it than they were in using that name in the first place. How do you know when your drink is ready if you don't give your name? Do you just figure when they announce, "medium coffee!" instead of "grande" it must be yours? Or do they say, "Curmudgeon, your drink is ready!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they say, "Curmudgeon, your drink is ready!"? I only ever buy a small (which is the size of the largest mugs I have at home) filter coffee. Never any fancy shit that requires a recipe book. All they have to do is pour it and hand it to me. On the odd occasion where there happens to be a fresh pot brewing, I'll stand at the end of the counter and wait, or sit somewhere within sight of the counter. If it's too crowded to do that I wouldn't have gone in anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I don't think I've ever had a coffee somewhere they need to take your name. Maybe it's a city thing where everyone goes at 100mph, but I generally order what I want, they bellow to the barista what I want and by the time I've paid and walked to the end I only have to wait a minute or two. Pretty painless really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My mate has had to start giving a different name in coffee shops because his name's Kofi and the baristas think he's taking the piss.
