“Caffe” cheat

Occasionally, I buy a cappuccino at “Caffe Nero”. I am always asked if I want regular or “grande” (big). Yesterday, I decided to try the big, at 30 p more. It was a milk soup, so I asked the attendant if they made a bigger cup with more coffee AND milk or if they just topped it up with more milk. He confirmed the latter…. What a rip off! They should announce it as a “milky cappuccino” NOT as a bigger cappuccino. Be warned, I would think all coffee shop chains to the same. Not only I paid more for a bit more milk, I did not enjoy a proper drink!

    Thats awful! Not being a hot drink drinker things like this dont affect me but the prices that I see charged for them are horrendous!

    well in all honesty it was probably odds on that they did this lol its like when u ask for large fries in a Mcdonalds they have a slightly bigger bag, but if the chips dont go in a certain way u can end up with the same portion as small fries
