Why is it...

How come when the girl in front of me at Starbucks orders a "grande lowfat skim mocha light on the whip cream, extra chocolate" the barista can rattle it right back at her,

-but-

when I order a large, black coffee, somewhere between the counter and the coffee machine, he has to turn back around and ask "room for cream?"

"Yes, when I said I wanted black coffee, I meant with cream."

Perfect. This made me laugh :)

You should have retorted, "No, I want it black, like my women."

It's a spin of a joke from Airplane! Don't chastise me!

I have, in the past, told waitresses that I like my coffee "as black as the day I was born."

In sort of an "in accordance with the prophecy sense," of course.
