After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

This is a tough one
Customer wants espresso over ice. Store doesn't want to do espresso over ice.
Customer orders espresso and a separate glass of ice - barista expresses gentle displeasure. Customer proceeds to be a bit of a dick (he admits as much in the post).
It's an interesting study (particularly if you follow some of the other links and comments) into the tension between artisan coffee shops and the general populace. I quite enjoy taking my coffee as the barista suggests, it often opens me up to new experiences. In this case, they also believe in maintaining a standard.
But of course, when your customer is not an aficionado, you run into trouble - they just want it how they want it.
