...and another...
When I was at school I had a weekend job working for Compass, serving fast food in the food hall of the Glades shopping centre. We were told to "sell up" obviously. However we were also told that when anyone ordered a coffee we were to ask "Would you like that in a cup or a mug?"

Some customers wouldn't realise they would be charged more for a mug of coffee as opposed to a cup. But even the customers who did notice thought they were paying more for more coffee. But they both held the same amount of coffee.

I said it once to an old lady, felt bad about it immediately and never did it again. Except to twats of course.

I've heard similar allegations about Costa, from someone who used to work there.
The story is that there isn't any more coffee in the swimming pool-sized mug than in its smaller brethren. However, I've not taken a measuring jug with me (and I prefer to drink coffee, not swim in it) so I can't vouch for the veracity of the claims.

costa ? coffee?
in the same conversation?
they sell brown murky shite not coffee now if you want proper coffee ,
simply find a cevert and fill with hot but not boiling water then using the tail as a handle and a plug simply stuff the tail up the arse for 5 mins and when ready pour the contents out and enjoy. *

Not bullshit.
Catshit.

I've had civet coffee. It's very nice, but not enough to justify its overinflated price.

They changed it from Costa Coffee to just Costa because wags like me went around saying "Costa Coffee? EXTORTIONATE!!!"

Don't you just get more milk?
Unless you ask for extra shots of espresso, I suppose (doing this in Starbucks will get you funny looks, as you are exposing the fact that they are a milk bar, not a coffee shop).

Do I look like I've got special needs?
What kind of mong has milk in his coffee? I take it strong and black.

Reminds me of a bar job I had
We did two different sizes in coffee, medium and large. Management asked us to offer them as 'small or medium'. When asked pretty much everyone went 'medium' and were upsold coffee without realizing it.

You can't have Medium and Large, without having Small,
nor can you have Small and Medium, without having a large.

Big or Small would be the correct options, surely? Marketing really is a load of wank.

If a short psychic criminal escapes then you have a small medium at large.
