Any coffee place anywhere

Two of my favorite drinks are really basic and extremely hard to get.

Every coffee joint anywhere:

Me: can i get a coffee please
Other: sure, what kind?
Me: Coffee
Other: like the kind that drips?
Me: i guess so?? I dunno however you make it.
Other: We don't actually have that here but we can do Americano if you like.
Me: sure hot and black please.
Other: no problem would you like any cream or sugar in that any flavoring?
Me: 🙃

Every Coffee joint anywhere:

Me: Hi do you all serve hot brewed tea?
Other: Sure, what kind would you like?
Me: Chai tea please

Procedes to charge me for a chai tea latte and procedes to brings me a chai tea latte.

Me: excuse me this isnt right?
Other: didnt you order the chai tea latte?
Me: No ma'am i wanted just a chai tea. Just tea bag and hot water.
Other: oh sorry about that.

Proceeds to bring the right drink without adjusting the cost because a latte is double the price of a normal brewed tea.

as a starbucks employee i can easily blame the servers on these ones.

- if you just ask for a coffee im gonna ask you filter coffee or espresso shot coffee. filter comes from the machine and espresso is an americano on the system. will also offer milk.

- if you ask chai tea i will ask if its the latte. yes then chai tea latte it is. no then its the tea bag.

the problem is either not asking clarifying questions or not repeating back the order.

@bugeye no i specifically ask for a "brewed hot tea" first and they say sure then ask me my flavor. Then i say "chai." I asked them how to ask for the drink i want without confusion and they told me if i ask for a "brewed" tea they would know, unfortunately it still hasnt helped.
