Not sure what it is called, but I accidently ordered one only the other month and had to hand it back, saying there had been a misunderstanding!
A Ristretto for a guess, although how you order one of those by mistake I don't know

They're trained to ask you what you want, then the follow-up questions. Stop listening when you say "americano" until they ask "want milk?" and start listening again
They do sell black and white coffee in coffee shops - and latte and cappuccino are not too bad although there's as many calories in milk as in beer.
Are syrupy coffees the vast majority these days?
To emphasise the point I always ask for an 'Americano, black please' despite AIUI 'an Americano' being black coffee anyway. Even then they say 'Do you want milk in it?'
