Well. I know you are all wondering why I haven't posted on here for... ever. This question has a two part answer.
1.) I fell off my bike, sprained my wrist and messed up my thumb.
2.) I am not currently working at a coffee shop. (So, not currently a barista)
And so, I am now an observer of coffee shops, rather than a behind the scenes participant. Or front line participant, which ever you prefer. Now that I have to pay for my coffee every morning at the coffee shop around the corner, since I rarely have time to ride my bike across town for a "freebee" from my co-workers, I rely on other baristas to make my coffee. And I am constantly disappointed. Why you ask?
It's 90* in the shade. I asked for an iced mocha. I got a HOT CHOCOLATE, POURED OVER ICE! It was literally hot and foamy, then poured into a clear plastic cup with ice in it. UNACCEPTABLE. But I guess that was my bad for going to a coffee shop run by crazy asians!
HAIRBENDER SHOULD NOT BE YOUR HOUSE DRIP COFFEE. EVER. (especially when you use sick old metal drip machines)
"Oh yeah, no big deal. I work and Heart and can ignore everyone and laugh at you when you ask what the single origin espresso is." Umm, the reason I asked is not because I don't know what "single origin" means (coffee beans from one single location), it's because the sign of what TYPE of bean the single origin was, was missing. Idiot.
Also, NO ONE makes iced coffee like we do. NO ONE.
