PSA for baristas in north america: a “flat white” is between 140 and 175 mL (5-6 fl. oz, roughly) unless explicitly otherwise (wrongly) specified by the customer and as an Australian I will accept no substitutes
@cat A barista in the US asked me explain a flat white after I accidentally ordered off-menu; I did so, and he said "whew, glad I asked! I used to work at Starbucks and it's a latte with whole milk there" 🙀
