Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 11, 2019

hot chocolate for me

Yes, I drink it black, no sugar but I you it to wash down the jelly donuts.

Ha, this is a classic Smuggers! Oops, Pluggers.

The problem is that your average “Starbucks” barista doesn’t know what a “normal cup of coffee” is! ;/

“café JUMBALAYA” ? seriously?

Employees get a kick out of it when I tell them I don’t speak Starbucks And just use regular terms for my order .

Just put a dash of honey in my coffee …… sometimes several drops of milk … NO decaf !

My order is a large regular black coffee. I don’t even have to order it, she sees me and brings it over. :)

I ordered a regular black coffee at Starbucks and the lady called me a wimp. I didn’t bother to argue.

Where I live, “regular” means with cream & sugar! Black coffee is just black coffee.

i do it just to watch the gears come apart…..

Yesterday, Bear gets sweet tea from young lady. Today, Dog goes to Javabux and orders coffee from old guy.

Made the mistake of getting black coffee at fourbucks. Worse than day-old Navy coffee.

They do it differently in LA…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-CrML0BzOA

Never been to a coffee shop, never will. 7-11 has good strong coffee, and I usually make my own anyway. Strong enough to make your hair stand on end.

I mess up the counter person at McD’s by saying black, no sugar. They hardly ever get it correct.

My dad liked his coffee cold and black, even leftover from the night before. If he had to drink it fresh, he added an ice cube. Maybe this was a Post Traumatic Coffee Disorder from his years in WWII.

With sprinkles.

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

For tonight, I’m-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

I was stuck in an airport where “Javabux” was the only thing open at that hour. Paid a ridiculous price for a medium size black cup o’ caffeine, worst coffee I’ve ever had.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Pluggers know not to buy stuff they don’t know the function or taste of.

He tips better if the server is a plugger instead of a barista.

Sir, I think that you’ve confused us with a coffee shop.

The best coffee I have ever had was in a small town cafe in Woodville, Wisconsin. I think it is the only restaurant in town (pop. around 1000). Not sure what it was (the water, maybe?), but, MAN, was that good coffee! I am the kind that needs a little coffee in my cream and sugar, and with this coffee all I did was add about 1/3 the sugar I usually take and no cream at all.

When they ask me, “Room for cream and sugar?” I answer, “Good coffee doesn’t need cream and sugar.”

Haha…… I do not begrudge folks there desire for all the fancy, frou-frou coffees…. I have tasted a few…. and they taste pretty decent…. usually like candy.

But……. BUT … they are so damn expensive!!!!!!!! And, the more “individualized” a person makes his/her order… the longer the line takes.

Me…. black, strong, robust unadulterated coffee…. is my friend….. room temp or over ice.

My kids and their spouses; Sourbux coffee in one hand, phone in the other……….and lots of monthly payments……..at least I know where the inheritance will go.

That’s fer DAMN sure!!!!!!!

A. I can’t stand that long and B. I’d run outta wind.

Some 30 years ago, I ordered a “small, medium roast coffee, black”. The counterkid corrected me using the “proper” StarBux terms. I repeated my order and the idiot did it again. I left and haven’t been back since.

Give me Mickey D’s or Waffle House any day.
