The real issue is whether a cup of coffee should cost five bucks.

U.K. woman Lauren Crouch was on a date with a man she’d met when he demanded the $5 back that he’d used to buy her a coffee.

Crouch, 28, originally met the man outside her local Tube station. Instead of going for a drink, he suggested that they have a coffee at Costa across the street.

After about 20 minutes of conversation, the man offered to make her dinner at his house. He explained that he had to return home for an Ocado delivery, a grocery delivery service in Britain.

Crouch declined and the two parted ways. When the man texted Crouch later, however, things got ugly.

“Hey, it was good to see you tonight,” the man texted Crouch. “Fancy meeting up again?”

When Crouch again politely declined, noting that she didn’t believe they had chemistry, the man asked for his money back.

“Ok, fair enough. Can you pay me back for your coffee?” he wrote. “I don’t like wasting money. Prefer to use it on a date with someone else.”
