How Australians prepare their coffee has left a Canadian dumbfounded

Josiah Hein, a passenger on a domestic flight from Sydney to Gold Coast, requested a coffee topped with creamer. The flight attendant was confused and refused to comply.

Josiah said that while most Australians get whole milk in a packet when they order a coffee, people in the United States (where he was just) will receive ‘creamer.’

 

One common Aussie coffee ingredient has left a Canadian Canadian dumbfounded in Australia.

Creamer, despite its name, is not cream. It’s a cream substitute made from evaporated milk solids (VMS), vegetable oil, corn sugar, and other additives and preservatives.

He said, “Flying to Australia and I ordered coffee,” on his video that shows him on a plane.

They offered me milk instead of creamer. There is a stark difference between North America, Australia, and Europe.

They are literally adding milk to their espressos. They don’t even know what creamer is.

I was trying to explain to the stewardess or cabin crew. “Kind of wild.”

In the comments, many people were shocked by Josiah’s reaction. They also pointed out that milk was a healthier option.

One person commented, “In Australia we don’t use creamer because our coffee tastes good.”

We know exactly what creamer is and what it’s made of.

Another person wrote: “Coffee Creamer is poison.”

In Australia, we only use natural ingredients to make our coffee.

Another user stated, “We know exactly what is happening but we refuse to acknowledge it.”

We don’t want to taste diabetes in everything.

Josiah commented, upon arrival at his destination, that Australians were more relaxed than Americans at the luggage carousel.

He noticed that everyone “didn’t care as much” to be as close as they could so they could grab their bags.

In a video entitled ‘Australians Display No Urgency to Get Their Baggage,’ he panned around the arrivals area.

“Most are on the opposite side of the carousel.” It’s different.

I don’t believe Australians are as concerned; they’re a little less stiff up here. “That is my impression.”

His followers appeared to agree with him, saying it was part and parcel of Australian culture to show consideration for others.

One person said, “We Australians have been raised better and are more civilized.”

Another person said, “It is not a lack care but an abundance care.”

We care about respecting others’ space and being courteous.

One user said, “It is polite to stand away so that everyone can see the bags on the belt.”

It’s not worth worrying about. It will keep on going around until we pick it up.

Another Canadian living in Australia was shocked to learn how much Australians are paid for a retail position.

Before moving to Australia, the expat stated that he was aware of Australia’s high minimum wage but did not expect it to be so high.

He said: “Right Now I’m Looking for Work, and I Went into a Retail Place, and Asked How Much They Get Paid.”

For their casual work, they are paid $31 per hour. That’s wild. “In Canadian dollars, that’s $28 an hour or in US dollars, $21 per hour.”

Imagine working at Walmart for $28 per hour in Canadian dollars,” he said.

According to the Fairwork Ombudsman, Australia’s minimum wage is $23.23 an hour, or $882.80 for a 38-hour work week (before taxes).

The minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour, or about $A10.90.

The expat said, “It is absolutely insane how much people are paid for their labour out here.”

The whole thing about casual clothing is insane.
