A Further 13 Moments That Slowly Make Baristas Want To Die

It's coffee, not brain surgery.

1. When customers complain about the price of items.

I'm sorry but I don't choose the price of things and you are choosing to shop here, I didn't drag you into the shop.

2. When customers think you are trying to scam them.

No, no, no, I am not trying to rinse you of an extra 50 pence I just pushed the wrong button on the till, excuse me for making mistakes.

3. When customers think that then bin has a secret drain inside of it.

Thank you for putting your half full latte in a bin where it will sit until I have to change it and inevitably spill it all down myself.

4. When a customer sits at the one table that is dirty and asks you to clean it up.

THERE ARE LITERALLY 30 OTHER CLEAN TABLES WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SIT THERE?!?!

5. Asking for a 'regular' size.

Regular is subjective from person to person, that is why the choices are small, medium and large. I see no 'regular' size on this list.

6. Putting through a large order only to find out the customer wants to top up their Starbucks card.

In what world would you try and pay for things with a loyalty card that's current balance is £0.00?

7. Similarly when customers reel off a huge order and fail to specify whether it is in or out.

Sorry, but I am going to need you to repeat that whole order again due to your idiocy.

8. Finding a finished drink that someone has crushed their wrappers/packets into.

Thank you for trying to tidy up but what you don't understand is that I am going to have to fish that dirty coffee tissue mess out of the cup with my bare hands.

9. When people spend £6.20 on two coffees and do not finish them.

To think, you could have had a decent meal for that price and yet here we are, me covered in the coffee you didn't finished because I was crazy enough to think you'd drink it all.

10. When parents refuse to believe I cannot give them boiling water for their baby.

Believe me if it was my choice I would, go ahead, scold your baby. But it really is not worth the earache about lawsuits and accidents from my manager again!

11. When customers have to pass the bin when leaving and still leave their rubbish on the table.

You are walking right past the bin! Seriously! Help a brother out!

12. Customers who order wet cappuccinos.

You want a latte, A LATTE!!!!

13. When customers think they own the sugar shaker because they've bought one drink.

That's fine, take the sugar shaker to your table. I'm only going to have to go on a wild goose chase when a customer is actually telling the truth about there being no sugar.
