15 Everyday Thoughts Your Barista Has

It never ends.

There are some jobs that are considered easy, and some that are considered hard.

For the most part, minimum wage jobs are not considered hard, which is fair. They do tend to be beginner jobs.

However, customer service can be a major pain the a*s. Not everyone can be pleased, even with the best possible service. This can take a toll on someone who is working customer service every day.

One of these jobs is being a barista. Customer service is difficult in general, but being one of the first people that customers see at the start of their day is worse.

I don't know about everyone, but if I do not get my caffeine in the morning I turn into this groggy, scary sort of monster that no one wants to encounter.

As a barista, you are constantly encountering those caffeine deprived monsters. Let me tell you, it isn't pretty.

Since it was popular a year ago, I decided to bring it back. Here are 15 more thoughts your local barista has daily:


1. Do I have "tell me all your life problems" tattooed on my forehead or something, because I am starting to wonder if I should be getting paid to be a barista and a therapist?

2. "24 oz. non-fat mocha with whip," is not a nice response to, "Hi! How are you today?"

3. Yes, 10 pumps of syrup is too much for a 20 oz drink.

4. When a customer pulls up to your window, and points across the room at your co-worker and goes, "she knows my drink."

5. Or when you are covering for another barista and one of their regulars say's that the girl that usually works knows their drink:

6. This isn't Starbucks. We do not have tall, grande, or venti. Nor do we have small, medium, or large. We do, however, have cups ranging from 8-32 oz.

7. If you're wondering why your drink costs so much money, it's probably the specialty milk, white coffee, and additional flavors you ordered.

8. I know it's cold, but if I can't shut my window, you can't roll up yours (well, you can but it's mean.)

9. I really could have gone my whole day without hearing your phone call with your gyno on speaker phone.

10. As much as I care about what you have to say, you got your drink three minutes ago and there are five cars behind you. Drive!

11. Please know what you are going to order when you get to the window.

12. If you hear me saying random "yeah's" and "oh really's," it is because I cannot hear you over the grinder or the blender.

13. When you tell a customer the total and they say they only have three dollars:

14. If you show up two minutes before closing and say, "Oh, I'm sorry! Looks like you're all cleaned up," and continue to order, I do not accept your apology.

15. If you're nice to me, it will make my job easier.


Be kind to your local barista!

Please, I am begging you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
