Covering the (espresso) “bar” for a buddy makes me realize how much I hate people before they’ve had their morning coffee.

So Starbucks baristas’ll have empathy convos about race w/customers before they’ve had their morning coffee? #BadIdea http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/17/starbucks-now-serving-coffee-with-a-dose-of-debate-on-race/ …

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of me being a barista is that you have to talk to people before they’ve had their morning coffee

The problem with owning a Cafe would be that you have to deal with people before they’ve had their morning coffee. #unpleasant

Ex-Starbucks Barista here (2006-2010):
It was a crapshoot. Some people were like, “you’re the human who gives me coffee, here’s money and a hug and my firstborn” and others were like “coffee-slave, ANOTHER!”.
Silver lining: I do have stories for days.
