Tea drinkers discriminated

[DaveB]

Can't believe anyone still uses "coffee shops". A great example of turning a tenners worth of raw ingredients into a thousand quid, paying as little tax as possible, employing the most surly grunters they can find. And people still flock in their millions daily, paying 3 or 4 quid for something that could cost them a tenth of that, if they bought their own machine (tenner from Tescos last time I did that), buy a bag of ground coffee and a pack of filters (less than a fiver) and you've got cost free coffee for a month. Morons, all of 'em...

Or just get one of these :

Buy Zyliss Cafetiere Hot Mug - Red E990002 from our Food & Drinks Flask range

TBH, I'd rather put my own milk in - otherwise you risk it being far too milky.

Too many places seem to want to put half a cow in it!

I like my tea strong - just a dash of milk don't ya know

Yet, for tea drinkers, they just grab a cup with the tea bag already in there, add hot water and here you go.

Sacrilege! Especially if said cup is cardboard.

You know there are tea shops?

That's right. Bertie Ahern was my favourite.

Here he goes, cheeky little chappie with his loose tie knot;

The world changes, they start putting milk in tea and some idiot will complain about them putting too much milk in before the tea has brewed properly yadda yadda...

Anyway, how did your exam in Switzerland go? Did you ignore all the advice given and put the weekend away with the wife through the company in the end?

Why not punish them by getting your own tea bags and making your own?

Tea is for old ladies.

Why do "coffee shops" discriminate against tea drinkers?

I'm not a coffee person, so get my tea every morning from a "coffee shop". I ask for a "white English breakfast tea" , however, they never put milk in the tea and expect me to go to the milk station and pour my own milk.

However, for coffee drinkers, they'll happily pour the milk, froth, chocolate toppings and goodness knows what else.

Yet, for tea drinkers, they just grab a cup with the tea bag already in there, add hot water and here you go.

Its almost as if they don't want to serve tea and they're doing you a favour. Tea and coffee prices are not far off yet coffee takes longer to prepare.

I now go to Pret, they add milk as its their normal procedure. Other coffee shops will do so if you ask them but its too much hard work as the baristas are not programmed to do so.

That's my Friday rant over!

I don't want them wasting time on tea, when they should be concentrating on making my coffee and milk the optimum temperature for my enjoyment
