What cheeses me off

WCMO is that Europeans “can’t” make a large flat white.

Me: A large flat white please.
Them: I am sorry we can only do medium flat whites.
Me: May I have a large latte with no foam then?
Them: Of course, here you are.

Breathe Jessica. Breathe.
You should hear their reaction when I ask for a short black!

A similar experience asking for a croissant with cheese and ham, along the coast from Genova recently. (Not for me, by the way.) :)
“No. Only plain croissant. I can make a panini with cheese and ham.”
“But you have the croissant, the cheese and the ham?”
“Yes, but only bread with cheese and ham.”
“Thank you. I will have a panini with cheese and ham and a plain croissant on the side.”
“Va bene.”

Ask for two? In Melbourne we couldn't get a bottle of milk at a milk bar. So I asked for a vanilla milkshake with no flavouring and no ice cream or anything else.
