Oh they haven't cooled their coffee, trust me on that one. I bought a 
cup about a month ago, for the car. ( *I* put it in a cup holder 
intended to hold such cups safely! ) I had to wait a couple of hours 
before I could drink it though. It hurt my tongue after an hour. But I 
was careful and just tested it careful, I didn't go pouring a bunch down 
my throat. Still, the stuff must have been near boiling when they served 
it to me. But I'm a rational person with rational expectations. I don't 
expect restaurants to serve me cold food, in fact I'd complain if they 
did. I don't expect them to cook things cold, or serve me cold coffee, 
unless I request such in the summer. I take personal responsibility for 
my own actions.
