Well, I don't believe it was a "test." If you focus just on his comment that he wanted to see my reaction, I think that is something a lot of us do. I like to see a friend's reaction to a picture I took on vacation, or maybe how a kid reacts to their first taste of a lemon. I think that he thought I wasn't familiar with the cowgirl espresso stands and simply wanted to see my reaction when I saw what it was like, and I don't think he was looking to base a judgment of me dependent upon my reaction. I don't want to read more into what he meant just as I don't want him to read more into my reply, than the joke that it was. Now, if it was something that had actually played out (or he had expressed a negative moral bias in the conversation), and he formed a negative judgment from my reaction, whatever it may have been, then that's a different story.
