My friends order like this sometimes, and when I have to put in their order I always shift it to what they actually ordered, and wait until they praise how the order hasn't been that good ever before showing the prestige.
The customer knows what they want. The customer is also an idiot, sometimes.
Hey, it could be worse. I had a guy ask if we had espresso. While standing in front of an espresso machine. That was pulling a shot of espresso
But it sounds cooler, and makes me seem extra ... I think
"In matters of taste, the customer is always right." Though trying to tell them that that is a flavourless iced latte, that sounds like a losing proposition.
This is the barista equivalent of saying "I want a cheeseburger without the cheese."
Gimme that soulless iiiiiccccceeeeee
When I worked at a Dunken so many people told me they wanted their coffee black and add milk That must be some insecurity or they don't know what black coffee means

Can't tell you how many times I've experienced this while working in fast food. The only time I mention it is if just getting the alternative product would be cheaper, which they usually appreciate!
