5 Types Of Coffee Drinkers As Told By A Barista
Unsplase

I have loved coffee ever since my mom let me have it--probably at an earlier age than my sister. This past month I started working at a local coffee shop. So far, I love it. Free coffee, flexible hours, free coffee, 5 mins walk from home, did I mention free coffee?

This is not my first service industry job, and I might have just started working in a coffee shop, but let me tell you about the 5 most common customers every coffee shop worker gets. Hey, I get it, death before decaf is a real thing, but you need to chill, after all its coffee.

1. The Decaf Drinker:

I don't understand these people. When you have energy on your own this early something has to be going on with you. It's just not normal, and I don't trust you. You're not human.

2. The No Sugar No Cream No Flavor Drinker:

Do you have taste buds? Don't get me wrong, you're order is the best thing to happen during my shift, but I don't understand how you throw it back. Whatever. Congratulations, please come by the shop anytime. You are probably new to the coffee scene. Get out while you can; it can get ugly.

3. The 10 Shots of Espresso Drinker:

Hey man, no judgement, I get you. The world is a hard and cruel place, get 10 shots of espresso if it gets through today. Do you boo. You're probably overtired and over worked or you're hungover which is fine too.

4. The Frappuccino Drinker:

*Me when you order a small blended drink*

Please. If you're going to order this, make it at least a large if not multiple drinks, because it takes so much longer to get your drink blended, and it causes me to do more dishes at the end of my shift. I don't want to do that, I want to go home. You clearly don't care about anyone else.

5. The Everything but the Kitchen Sink Drinker:

You're making my life and the lives of the people behind you in line hell. Girl, please...no. I've had my 4 cups of coffee for the morning and I still can't handle you. Don't ask me if you're being annoying because even though I smile and say 'no, you're fine' I've punched you in my head 5 time by now. You're most likely spoiled and a princess.

So there ya have it. In the last few weeks of my first ever barista job, there are the 5 most common customers I have had. Don't get me wrong, I like my job, but while I am judging you for your order, I do the same thing because I love coffee and it's too important to drink poorly made drinks.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
