I'll cop some shit for this one, but coffee baristas.
you put some grounds in a machine, twiddle some nobs and pour milk in a wave pattern
edit: judging by the amount of downvotes ive either pissed off all the Bachelor of Arts grads working as baristas or all the coffee snobs who still think making coffee is some sort of art that can only be done by the most highly trained baristas. Yes, I also love coffee. No, making it is not some sort of complicated thing which is the point of this post (and topic of this thread), and no, I am not disparaging anyone working as a barista (unless they are an Arts grad, sorry) because a job is a job and all jobs deserve respect
It isnβt making the coffee thatβs hard, itβs being on your feet for 8 solid hours while getting assaulted by a Karen every 30 minutes and playing the memory game of 3 pumps vanilla no foam cinnamon powder vinti super choco-latte. The coffee is just a minor part of the job.
Tell me you've never worked in hospitality without telling me you've never worked in hospitality.
I spent years in restaurants and retail stores working thru my teens and twenties.
The management in those places is usually a joke. Over serious, under educated people taking themselves far too seriously. They work hard because they're inefficient most of the time, not because the jobs are actually difficult too. At least that's the experience I had along with my friends before we got wise and gtfo of that environment.
Oh you should have said it bothered you, I'll chat to the other posters and we'll stop it.
Sorry sniper :( x
You didn't make it clear to the rest of us that it annoyed you! We'll make sure we all tailor our behaviour so you don't have to deal with the inconvenience of seeing a joke which you've deemed unacceptable.
Please accept our sincere apologies, we shall all strive to please you more in future :) x
Would you like me to adjust who I am to better suit your preference too?
I didn't know the mighty sniper thought I was a weirdo :(
Well, it's definitely better than being a piece of shit eh? X
Best coffee is anywhere but the US.
From Asia to Africa, all the shops I've visited had good espressos and coffee.
Customer service is also a joke here.
I always wonder what little hell you people live in. There are fan fucking tastic local roasters across the East Coast. It's crazy easy to get day old roasted beans from just about anywhere on the planet here.
It's like the people who make fun of the food and have no clue.
Hope so you not have access to good coffee? Where are you located that you can't get anything good?
The definition of what "good coffee" is vary from place to place. The northeast has absolutely phenomenal American style coffee (focus on drip coffee and long pours), a lot of Europeans are after a really good espresso for β¬1.5.
What exactly is your definition of "taking too seriously"?
