REAL MEN buy their coffee in London. Pregnant woman clogging up the queue? THIS IS LONDON, punch that bitch outta the way! Grrr.

I definitely prefer to be a number in the context of takeaway comestible shopping.

Asking people's name is also slowing the process down. That is a quote from Laura who is pretty good at her job.

OK. Lets end this now because it's fucking ridiculous.Â

You're quite obviously unwilling to even entertain the reasons why the 'name' thing is happening and instead are banging on about how great the British are are lining up and being quiet and picking up their drink reasonably.Â

Having lived in half a dozen countries over the past decade I can quite accurately state that we Brits are not the fucking pariah's when it comes to service with a smile.Â

At least in Italy they look at you with utter contempt when you order a coffee. I'd much rather outright hatred than unassuming incompetence.Â

So lets end this and talk about something else.

I'm wearing shorts in the office. What are you all wearing to work?!

What if one of us is a time-travelling bounty hunter wearing your cold dead face as a mask? What would you say then, hmm? Still want to have this discussion now, do ya, eh?

Yes.

I'm intrigued.

At what point are you going to kill me? Are you even going to kill me or is that someone else?

EvilRedEye

I never said I was the time-travelling bounty hunter, Mr. Rampant Assumptions.

I was told by Maria that you are out to kill me and steal my wealth.

Is this not true?

Cafe Espa in Helsinki, massive selection of butties, pastries and beverages, always a queue out the door, no names just great service whether you sit or wait for your order, always got my lunch to me

No, you're too far away. To kill you I'd have to, like, get out of my chair and everything.

cockbeard

Lovely, can't believe tripadvisor only gave it 3.5/5

It too me around two years to get from Helsinki to Derby, may see if they deliver, I want a korvapustieja

Thus why I was asking whom you might get to kill me...

Elm is somewhat closer...2000 miles away.

EvilRedEye

I'll get Elm to do it then, he can drone you from afar.

OK, thanks.

Who shall I make the will out to?

EvilRedEye

Actually make it out to a cat charity, I like cats.

EvilRedEye

But make it on the condition that the cats must wear hats at all times.

I'm not surprised some process is being built to help regulate the morning rush.

It's nothing to do with that. As evidenced by their marketing for it.Â
It's what Mod said pages ago. Attempting to personalise and build loyalty into a process that doesn't have it (and doesn't need it). Totally cynical, and a waste of everyone's time.Â
End of.

Unlikely

Also those of us with any sense don't go to a coffee shop where the queue is out the door. If you're that addicted to the stuff have a coffee at home before you leave.

If you had an issue with cynical you wouldnt be going to Starbucks for coffee. So I'm confused as to why this is the thing that broke the camels back.

Unlikely

Wait, what the fuck? Stupid forum.

Agreed.

As I said earlier on this forum I have very good espresso in my office as serviced by this machine.

I only ever leave to go this joint :

Christ don't get me started on that place.

As the years tally up I feel a touch more strongly that product connoisseurship shouldn't be practised in public.

It's okay on the Internet though.
