Working as a barista is both fun and challenging. We face many different customers every day, while inducing the pressure of the job. Here are seven struggles every barista has experienced at least once.
1. Showing up during rush hour.
The moment you clock into work, you regret it with all your heart. The line is out the door and more people are standing around waiting for their order. It's okay, just back out slowly. They will not notice.
2. When people use the cup sizes wrong.
I will help you out right now.
Tall = the small cup
Grande = the medium cup
Venti = the large cup
Trenta = the extra large cup
You are welcome.
3. The secret menu.
Here is a little secret for you. Most of the time we have no clue what you are talking about. We will try our best to make it though.
4. I do not know your regular order.
It is easier just to say your order than expecting us to memorize it.
5. Attempting to make latte art.
We all remember that one time it was shaped like a heart. Let's face it, it is really hard to make latte art. There is too much pressure.
