I love your username.

I've recently noticed that Perthians do seem more partial to ye olde long mac than others.

I've also noticed that customers in Freo cafes seem to... greet each other? Is this a thing or is it just me. Usually when I go to a cafe I'm busy not acknowledging anyone like a normal person but apparently that's not how things are done here?

Are you a """"journalist""""?

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. Do journalists ask about this stuff?

[–] trk@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

They always open with "ayy cool username bro 👈😎👈" to try and get a little personal connection going before they hit them up for copypasta to put behind a paywall is all.

The Perth long Mac variant is it's own thing. Bell explains it here https://www.thebelltowertimes.com/long-mac-topped-up-perth/

Not sure about the greeting thing in Freo. I haven't noticed it in the Perth CBD.

Wait, so the perth long mac is just a flat white? I thought it was the same as the Melbourne variant.

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Basically a latte / flat white with an extra shot.

But saying that to a local may offend.
