But can you actually "get" it? No, you can't, not unless they're going to let you behind the counter. The waiter / barrista will "get" it, you will receive and drink it. I had rage this morning when someone sat next to me on the bus when there were other, empty, double seats. Why sit there, WHY? I know people are quite entitled to, and maybe I'd sat in their favourite spot, so they thought they'd join me rather than sit somewhere else with more room. And on other days, it wouldn't have bothered me at all. But I was feeling a bit straitjacketed by a too-bulky jumper under a narrow sleeved coat and I couldn't move my arms, and then they sat down and I was all penned in and trapped and freaking out, and I was somewhat disproportionately apoplectic.
