Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Springs1, first off, welcome back. We've missed you. We really have.

I have a question about proper decorum when it comes to servers, for you see I seem to be having problems with my coffee orders recently.

Usually I drink my coffee black (no cream, no sugar), unless it's a cup from the bottom of the pot, in which case it's a little bitter so I take two creams/two sugars in that case. The problem I'm having is when I order "1 black coffee" I occasionally get a cup from the bottom of the pot, in which case it's a little too black... but the servers just never take the time to double check and ***LOOK*** at the coffee in the cup before putting a lid on it and handing it to me. By the time I take a sip I've already dropped a quarter or so into the tip cup and ***SOMETIMES*** I've left the store already.

Is it fair of me to take my quarter out of the tip jar next time I'm at Tim Hortons? I mean they should know that black doesn't mean "bottom of the pot black", but normal black. So if it's bottom of the pot they should **KNOW** I need two creams/two sugars.

Any thoughts?
