Back in your day you probably spent your lunch having 4 pints of lager and a pack of salt & vinegar instead of ingesting unhealthy coffees
As we worked above a pub it was also expected that you bring a pint back for the afternoon to drink at your desk.
Where you could also smoke.
Ah the good old days

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!

Are syrupy coffees the vast majority these days?

On the rare occasions I venture anywhere near a coffee shop, I always just ask for a medium cup of instant black coffee.
Can't go wrong with that, because you can add your own milk and a teaspoon of sugar as required.

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
