do you want room for cream?

Where: coffee shop.

Well, it is kind of lame that I had hard time to understand what the employee is asking to me. But when I went to coffee shop to order a coffee, the employee asked me this question. I had to say, “Sorry??.” In Korea, I did not get this question at all. I think it is because the coffees are served with cream in it. Well I cannot remember exactly now.

So here in America, there is a separate stand where you can find a few different types of creams you can put into your coffee. You will find like “whole milk” or “half and half” on the stand. Then, once you get your coffee, you can put these into your coffee. I think if they do not ask the question to you and you do not ask them to leave a room for cream, they assume that you do not want to put cream in your coffee so that they give you a coffee full of the cup.
