Do you ever wonder what your barista is thinking about when she makes your coffee? Do you wish you could hear what they say about you after you leave? Do you ever want to know what makes a great cup of coffee? Answers to these questions and more are what I am going to strive to answer in this blog. I have been a barista for six years and worked at four different drive-up espresso stands. What a fun job it is to be able to serve people an amazing cup of joe to get their day started on the right foot! I love seeing the smile a customer gets on their face after taking their first sip of coffee! Working in customer service doesn't always involve smiles, pleases and thank yous from your customers. No matter how rude your customers can be, you just have to learn to laugh it off and kill them with kindness!

ReplyDeleteYou know you are a mother when you stand up from feeding and changing your baby and realize you have a wet diaper stuck to your butt...
ReplyDeleteCustomer pulled up and asked for a banana split with extra hot fudge. Keep in mind that I work at an espresso stand, where we serve coffee, and there is a hamburger joint next door with sundaes and milkshake type treats. I told him we didn't serve those here, but if he wanted some coffee or a smoothie I could make him one. I also told him about the burger place next door if he wanted something from there instead (Apparently he knew about that place already). He looked very confused and then said, "Alright, I guess I will just have a hot fudge sundae with extra hot fudge. I proceeded to tell him again what we serve and what they offer next door. He thought about it for a second more, then said, "Ok, then I will just take a regular sundae." Once I explained the situation once more, he was so confused that he drove off...This is what drugs must do to your brain...
ReplyDeleteThese are the best kinds of stories. I love it when students do/say funny stuff like this. Sharing these moments is priceless. I am thankful, however, that my students don't say and do funny things due to drugs!
DeleteKeep these stories coming. It'll be fun to read. I've always thought I should be keeping a record of the funnies of my students.
DeleteHow about the one where the boy - let's call him "Billy" - signed his homework page: "Billy, who women think is hot." Now that's an 8-year-old with no confidence issues!
This will be a very funny blog! TIP: Create a New Post for the different days that you post something your customers do! Your blog will be easier to read by others, and the archve will allow us to find a particular post. Your comments (like your 2 Mar. 12 posts) won;t show up in the archive.
ReplyDeleteSo, how did this person get a driver's license?
