I know this is stupid but I just have to vent my anger on this issue. I am really pissed off cause today I bought a coffee and I asked for a cappucino with SKIM milk. I cant stand to drink full cream it makes me feel sick. So the guy makes it and gives it to me and it looks like full cream. I used to work in a cafe so I know the difference between skim and full cream. So i take it anyway and put sugar in etc then i taste it and it is definately full cream. I really hate complaining but I take it back and say are you sure its skim and he goes yes it is. Im like it looks and tastes like full cream and hes no it is skim in a really rude way. So Im just ok fine and so I took it. Man that really pissed me off! I know it is stupid but to me the 60 calorie or so difference is alot to me and do you know how many grams of fat is in full cream milk! This is stupid for me to be annoyed about but I've decided to never buy coffee again I'll just make it at home myself. Does anyone else ever get peeved off about how when your trying to lose weight and you order something and you NEVER get what you ordered? I remember so many times I've ordered salad, emphasising dressing ON THE SIDE and it always comes with greasy oil all over my salad. I guess it pisses me off the most because I used to waitress and I used to always pay particular attention to make sure people got what they ordered. Anyways, thanks for listening to my petty complaining!

I know exactly what you mean! Things like that happen to me all the time and my mum says the customer is always right but I hate arguing it makes me scared and especailly with people who are older than I am! I don't like full cream milk but I often go to a coffe shop with my friends after school (I live in London). Because I'm ex-anorexic (as you know) my mum and my doctor want me to drink semi-skimmed rather than skimmed milk and that's OK with me but lots of times when I asked for a semi-skimmed cappucino they gave me skimmed. Now I'm used to semi so skimmed tastes too un-milky! So when I ask now I say "I'd like semi-skimmed, that's SEMI not just skimmed OK?" and I lean over the counter and watch them while they make it! My friends say it's cheeky but I don't care, at least I get what I pay for!!! Your post made me laugh! I'm sorry you're pissed off but it was funny cos I knew exactly what you meant!!!!!!
