Color Me Confused

The next knucklehead that asks me if I want cream and sugar in my black coffee is going to suffer the full brunt of my slight irritation.

This literally happens at least once a week:

Me: large black coffee, please.

Knucklehead: Okay, that's a large black coffee (pushes buttons) sugar?

Me (thinking it's silly, but realizing it's a valid question since sugar doesn't affect the color of the divine fuel): No, thanks. Just black.

Knucklehead: Cream?

Seriously?!

It wouldn't be black, then. Would it?

I get that people are trained to do certain things a certain way without any sort of deviation, but have we bled the humanity out of people so much that they simply switch to automatic, and cease all independent thought?

Here's a wacky idea:

Maybe if these people start getting paid a livable wage, they'll start giving a shit.

Just a thought.
