Sherrie White, 21, had gone into Costa with her husband Robert and ordered an Americano with full fat milk.

But when his drink arrived, they noticed the insult scrawled on the receipt.

Robert, 25, confronted staff at the cafe in Winchester but they claimed it was an in-joke.

‘It was aimed at both of us,’ Robert told the Sun. ‘We saw the person who picked up the receipt look over at her [Sherrie] and they laughed.

‘So it was clearly them laughing at us – it was a direct insult.’



Sherrie added that she ‘felt awful’.

‘It made me feel terrible about myself,’ she said. ‘You don’t expect to see that on a bit of paper when you buy something.’
