you know... it really isnt that hard to ask for "coffee with milk" instead.
and if you believe in the free market, then a free enterprise is allowed to serve or not serve who they want... although this isnt the best way to stay in business.
Personally, I think it is very silly of anyone to believe that the word black is in itself offensive... but if you want to buy a coffee from this shop you obviously have a choice to either ask for it in the name they want, or go elsewhere.
Ive also notices that they do the same in McDonalds. (although not the same issue)
I remember trying to order a bagel with cream cheese there, and they had some silly name for it, and I just kept saying "just with cream cheese" and the guy kept saying "do you mean the McBagel McCheese?" or whatever it was called... and I was obviously being pedantic and kept saying "I want a bagel with cream cheese"... but he absolutely refused to take the order until I used the official McDonalds name... but I was hungry and I like bagels... so I did in the end!
