This is a question No Self-Awareness

I had a boss who had no idea of his body odour problem, and everybody was too tactful to break it to him. Not so a visiting Rev Ian Paisley: "What the blazes is that smell? Is it you?" That sorted it. Stories of people blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad manners and foghorn voices.

Gits in pubs.
It really is quite simple Ma'am.

If you want a coffee fuck off to a cafe.

Especially if you proudly state "I never carry cash" and present your debit card to pay six quid.

Edit.

I much enjoyed your replies but would like to point out that I do not work behind a bar.

I'm a drunk and when a bar person sidles off to make a coffee it takes three to four times longer to serve that one coffee than pour a beer.

Also, I've no problem with setting up a tab and paying by card at the end of the session but people round here do it for every bloody round.

The money I used out of my bank account to pay for my beers
goes towards the cash-flow of the business that you work for, therefore at least some of it goes towards your wages.
It is a 2 "pronged" transaction - 1st the commodity, in this case beer and secondly the service - ie. you pouring me the beer. Both of which I pay for. How I chose to pay is my business, as long as I give you the agreed amount in an agreed currency for the commodity. Your employer/boss employs you to provide the service. Good service is usually tendered with a smile and good nature.
Most service based businesses have caught up sufficiently with the 20th Century as to provide their patrons with more than 1 choice of payment. Including the use of modern communications technology.

Why anyone would pay nearly AUD$8 for a coffee let alone buy coffee at a pub (other than at the end of a meal maybe) I have to admit does escape me.

Now stop yer whinging and pour my beer.

So your story is:
I'm employed solely to serve drinks and charge people for them and I have a problem with one of the drinks my employers supply and the way people choose to pay for them?

Where's the lack of self awareness though? Do they not realise they are ordering coffee? Do they think you only serve coffee and have somehow missed all the bottles of alcohol on the wall? Or are they just meant to know that you hate your job and the very person you've become and the only way to give your life any meaning is by belittling the very people who keep you in a job on a faceless Internet forum?

I never carry cash
My closest cashpoint is over a mile from my house. My closest pub is 50 yards from my house. My closest shop is 75 yards from my house. My closest restaurant (where i work) is 150 yards from my house. I can go weeks without seeing cash. Most nights after work I purchase 2 pints of non-premium lager from my local pub at a price of approximately £6 and pay with my card. Please point out where I have been going wrong here, I would greatly appreciate your input so I can become a better person.

EDIT: having read the response I would like to retract my statement and fully endorse the OP's point.

Thieving fuckers.
