I don't know you're very fluent in Chinese! I'd be floored if you speak as good as you type in the next gathering.

You think you all got it bad. I had a cup of tea the other day and it cost me S$4.50! And the kicker is that they just gave me a cup of hot water and a tea bag. So I just about did everything myself!
Plus they'd forgotten our muffin orders completely.

Yeah, that really pisses me off as well. I go to the airport to pick up my daughter and sit down and have a cup of Earl Grey and a Blueberry muffin. The tea is a cup of hot water and a teabag, and yeah, $4.50!
Somehow, instead of quoting Max I just typed in his post about the airport. Corrected now.
