I like to think I'm a hot barista, but it's more realistic that my makeup is smudged and I have mocha somewhere on my face

When the Tie-Dye frappucinos are only available the 10th-14th but you only work on Mondays

A co-worker told me she "sucked" at doing the pastry pull. This is an adult woman telling me she is not good at grabbing items from a shelf

Hey lady, neither of these drinks that you tried to correct me on are yours. Are you embarrassed? Clearly not

Me as a barista:

Old men: I’ll just take a black coffee. I bet you don’t get a lot of people who just get black coffee anymore. All you millennials with your frilly coffee drinks. Did I mention I just want a black coffee?

There was this weird period of time during my first summer at Starbucks that we would open and put all the pastries in the case. Once we saw our first fruit fly in the case we threw everything away and told people we couldn't serve food. And management didn't do anything about it

Some coworkers just can’t seem to get that WHIP cream is made with heavy WHIPPING cream and not half & half....it’s not like it’s in the name or anything...

Today our coffeeshop didn’t have running water. Let that sink in.
No water = No coffee

*customer sees drink that’s been there for 10 min*
“Is this mine?”
Barista: “Its an iced caramelized mocha”
C: “That’s not what I ordered”
B: “What did you order? We can remake it”
C: “I don’t know but this isn’t it”
*proceeds to take drink & leave angrily*
Happy Monday everyone

Sometimes your barista bestie loves you so much, she forgets where she is geographically

Which is it in this case?

Learning medical abbreviations is tough. CM- carpometacarpal joint? Carmel macchiato? Whose to say?!

I had a man tell me he was surprised I knew how to fill the cardboard bayler. Not even operate it, literally just throw the cardboard into the machine

[Barista Probs @ProbsBarista]

Some of the people at my work are very proud of me for graduating and that's just too sweet of them 😊

So we all know the strawberry concentrate says "fraise" on it because that's strawberry in French and it's translated, right? My coworker thinks that's the name of the concentrate

To the point in my career when work calls to see if I'll come in at 12, I tell them I'll come at 1

@DrewGabby Or the rare new job: back of warehouse

[Barista Probs @ProbsBarista]

When my boss tries to confine me just to the bakery but I'm too high energy for that shit

[Barista Probs @ProbsBarista]

On top of my other responsibilities, I had to teach all my coworkers about Joesph Kony, the Ugandan war lord, who apparently no one had heard of. #Kony2012 #StopKony #TweetLikeIts2012

Me internally when my boss kept the shop open when one of the machines was smoking and sending sparks

[Barista Probs @ProbsBarista]

I can't learn this regular's order cuz she alters one thing about it every day and I think this is how guys feel when they say they don't understand girls
