You assume that he must just have a real passion for overpriced coffee beans because it's likely that he has a wife and kids.
3. The Hipster
This barista drinks their coffee black. They look like they haven't run a brush through their hair in months but is still insanely gorgeous. You imagine them casually climbing a random mountain in Guatemala to pick your coffee beans before showing up at work.
4. Red Lipstick, No Eyeliner
This coffee genius likes to work the early morning shift. She's never quite awake enough to attempt eye makeup but still likes to make it look like she put in some effort. You can't help but wonder if she even likes coffee because if she does, how does her lipstick never smear?

7. The Ditz
You're fairly convinced that he or she never actually graduated middle school but you wouldn't dare call them out on their mistakes because they seem to get you through your day. Oh your name is Emily? Let me spell that E-H-M-E-H-L-E-E. Don't hurt yourself kid.

9. The Overwhleming One
This person seems to have taken one too many shots of espresso while on their break. They're overly energetic toward you and it's sometimes hard to handle. They seem to forget that they're talking to someone who HASN'T yet gotten their daily dose of caffeine.
10. The One That Should Steal Some Energy From #8
They're spilling milk, giving you the wrong change and falling asleep while making your drink. You assume that they're hungover but take advange of it because it's your best bet at getting a second drink for free. Just let it happen. Drink on, baristas of the world.
11. The One Always Over Doing It
They're always giving you discounts and free refills. They like to cross out the part on the cup that says "this drink is" and replace it with "you're," making it read "you're really hot." This can get annoying but you're flattered because they always seem to remember your drink of choice down to a T.
