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.

That is pretty reprehensible, yeah.

But: viral teensy spoon anti-thievery! Buy cheap spoons (http://pages.hyacinthhouseantiques.com/cgi-bin/google.fcgi?itemKey=674574&store=%2Fstores%2Fhyh&catId=Misc_Kitchen&itemNo=1982) in bulk and droplift them in local cafes!
