I guess it comes down to expectations and what you're used to, but I'd
be quite put off if I ordered coffee and they tried to add sugar or
creamer before they handed me the coffee. Good grief, do they also
pre-condiment your burger? :-)
You order and get exactly what you want: nothing, cream, double milk,=20
etc etc. "Double double" means double cream with double sugar.=20
Interesting! I've never heard "double milk" or "double sugar, but I'd
have no trouble understanding it. But if someone said "double double,"
I wouldn't know what he meant.
For some=20
reason, a lot of people like that. Not me, I hate sugar in coffee. ;-)
I also hate sugar in coffee. I don't like cream in coffee either, but
it's not as bad as sugar. I the coffee is really bad (as it is in
Starbucks, for example) I actually prefer it with cream to partially
mask the very bad burnt taste.
By the way, just as a matter of interest, in almost all of Italy, if
you just order "caffee," it comes with nothing in it. But in Naples,
it comes with sugar, unless you say "caffee senza zucchero" (coffee
without sugar). And many years ago (around 1979) I was sitting at a
meeting in a high-level office in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paolo, Brazil
(I don't remember which) and was asked if I wanted coffee. I said
"yes," and the secretary brought me a cup of coffee with sugar, which
I was unable to drink.
