I know what you mean. For a long while I wouldn't go to Starbucks because I had barrista anxiety and was afraid I would embarrass myself because I didn't know all the ordering jargon. I'd even thought about finding an ordering tutorial on line but then said to heck with it, I'm not going to be intimidated by something as inconsequential as buying a cup of coffee. Now when I go I just say I want a plain coffee, nothing fancy, and let them sort it out.When did we get to the point where they look at you kinda funny when you order just a plain, high-test coffee, no sugar, no foofiness? (I’ll add my own cream, thank you very much.) I am finding that I need to go to a convenience store just to get a cup of coffee anymore, and even then it’s a hunt and search proposition because of the dozen offerings, none of which is “Regular.”. My kingdom for the days when our only choices were “Regular” and “Decaf.”
