Petty coffee complaints

[moominmolly]

I went out to a restaurant week dinner last night. The company was excellent, the food merely okay, and the service -- well, the service was really crappy. I don't think they refilled my water glass all evening. I indulged in an espresso, since I allow myself a tiny bit of caffeine from time to time, and I was shocked! shocked! to discover that not only had I not gotten a demitasse spoon, but also, that the little saucer was entirely bare.

A nude espresso. How sad and lonely.

I guess I have very strong feelings about my after-dinner coffee. One of the most delightful "me-too!" mealtime experiences I've ever had was with tafkar, where we shared our silly but firm after-dinner restaurant coffee preferences, down to the type of dishware.

Still, even a lonely nude espresso settles my stomach after dinner. It could have been worse.

I'm with Uke -- I generally prefer that my coffee not come with any little extras. I admit, though, that while I do not expect anything, I do like the little bit of decorative lemon peel, just because it looks nice.

It's not that I *prefer* -- it's just that it never would have struck me to prefer accompaniment.
