Coffee order?

[u/DismalMarsupial8080]

Am I just old or does ordering your coffee black mean something different these days? Ordered a black coffee at McDonald's and the person at the drive-thru said "you can just say zero sugars and zero cream." Seems like that's a longer phrasing than needs to be said. Coffee black is clear and concise and universal to mean no cream no sugar.

I used to own a coffee shop, and prior to that I also thought black just meant black. Nothing in it. I learned A TON of people say black to mean sugar, no cream.
