Yes yes shock horror i was in Nero, i was with a friend who i hadn't seen for a while so it was a good place for a sit down and a chat. Honest!
Anyway, i ordered a regular cappuccino, to which the guy asked me
"do you want any chocolate on the top" ...
"no" i said.
He looked surprised.
"are you sure!!? ... i can put some cinnamon in it?"
again, "no" was my reply.
Anyway i watched him prepare the shot for the cappuccino and i remembered about the slogan they have on the back of their tshirts, "the best espresso this side of milan" - so i asked the guy
"Do you believe whats on the back of your tshirt?".
"Yea, of course" he said.
I had a little chuckle to myself and a few moments later "Why?" came from behind the bar.
"Oh, its just 'cos its really not" was my reply.
Let me tell you the shot was horrific, and i suspect if he thinks he's producing the best espresso this side of milan and he's supposed to be trained - joe public is certainly going to think that when its plastered all over the backs of the employees.
Anyway I suspect the fact i dared to question his superior judgement didn't go down too well and he probably put something horrendous in my drink, but oh well it cheered me up a little.
