Cappuccinos, Muggaccinos and everything in between

So here is how a conversation went down the other day when i was working in McCafe

(While reading the lady parts put on a snobby old lady accent in your head)

Lady: Hi can i please get a muggacino?

Me: ummm yep

*looks on screen and can't find anything like that*

Me: Sorry what did you want?

Lady *sigh* A muggacino

Me: A macchiato?

Lady: No *looks at me like i'm stupid* a muggacino

Me: Sorry what is that?

Her Husband: It's a cappucino in a mug

Lady: Why? What do you call them?

Me: Oh just a cappuccino dine in or a cappucino in a mug

Lady: That is soo weird i think you guys are the only place that does that

Me: uhh... yeah


Okaaaay now i'm sorry but since when did we start giving food and beverages different names based on what crockery they're served in?

I can see where she's coming from though i mean wouldn't it just be the darndest thing if we called spaghetti on a plate and spaghetti in a bowl the same thing? The world would fall into chaos and we'd be running around like people who run fast

( i didn't want to say like headless chooks coz i'm pretty sure only old people talk like that)

And one more thing if a Muggacino is just a cappuccino from a mug then WHAT THE HELL does she think a babycino is?
