[PS] SETTLED SCIENCE: THERE REALLY ARE ‘LATTE LIBERALS’

@Os Trigonum is quickly becoming the PC poster of the year

 

We definitely have Starbucks Marxists here in the DD

machiatto is wrong.

 

Yep, it's basically a big boy cappuccino.

 

I blame the appropriation of Italian coffee culture by Americans

"Latte" means milk in Italian. It still amuses me to see Americans order a "latte" in Italy and be confused when they are given a glass of milk. It also amuses me to see Americans complain about a cappuccino being "too foamy" or to be asked in US coffee shops if I want an espresso "for here or to go."

The only way to drink coffee is the arabic/turkish/greek/cowboy way with fine grounds cooked in, preferably with cardamon and sugar, or medium roast through several bars of pressure as the do in Italy, in either a decent espresso machine or a macchinetta, plain, with maybe milk as an additive, and even then, only with breakfast.

Everything else is wrong, including that nasty third-wave hipster crap. The only decent coffee I was able to find in San Francisco was in Italian restaurants.

 

This is a great chart! Perfect explanation. I think of it as esspresso marked with foam. The literal meaning I was taught when I slaved away at a coffee shop.

 

Fixed.

 

You poor sick b*stard.

Double espresso + double white russian (half cream)

 

Cream, no, but yes to caffè corretto. A bar in Tel Aviv named a drink after me which is a double espresso with kahlua.

 

Here in the 626, we have mostly boba tea liberals.

 

Dude. Humor. Calm the hell down

 

People should try different things a see what they like.

I don't care that people drunk bud light, coors light, and miller light. (it's nasty as F) but do you.

 

NY Post wasn't a skewed enough source for you that you have to link legal insurrection? Anyway, corporate layoffs are unrelated. That's not how businesses make decisions. As for whether the policy is working, some anecdotes about closed stalls in NYC (of all places) is hardly proof.

 

Isn't the policy about "customer satisfaction"?

 

Do they know that these issues appeared after May 21st or were pre-existing conditions? Doesn't seem very much of a scientific investigation.

In any case I'd have actually thought that a policy requiring purchase to use the bathroom makes a lot of sense.
