Dont mess with me... I make your coffee...

ok... so work is a little stressful sometimes and its partially due to some customers... but its ok... thats what im here for... to help you... in which is helping me...

For those of you who dont know i work at a place many need in order to survive...

STARBUCKS...

so... after many mishaps ive decided to post this to help you... lets begin...

PRONUNCIATIONS...

Frappuccino... frap-uh-chino
NOT frappe, fraperchiner, frozen thing, is that cold?

Latte... la-tay
NOT luh te

americano... a-mer-ih-cah-no
NOT ameriCINo

and last... MY FAVORITE

(sigh)

Macchiatto
yes i understand this may seem like a difficult word... thats fine... but really some of these are just ridiculous...

Macchiatto ... Ma-ke-ah-toe

NOT mariachhi, marachino, MACHETE OTTO ( i dont want to drink a weapon sorry) muh muh muh...

sigh... NEXT!!!

a little lesson on cappucinos
a cappucino is half foam...
NO your cup is not empty its light...and perfect... GOSH
A LATTE is heavy...
if you want that stuff at the gas station why are you wasting your time and money...
NO im not bashing gas station coffee...i like it... especially the vanilla one...
but no thats not what i serve here... i serve delectably roasted espresso with hints of carmel with lucious frothy foam... firm and perfect enough to balance a quarter on... ( and yes i can balance a quarter on my foam)
That is what i serve...

NEXT
Ways to please your barista...

Please for the love of all that is good in this world... dont say latte after mocha.. its just annoying... ( mocha latte... white mocha latte... NO)

if you order a black coffe...
dont complain later its to black... if you want cream...ill give you some thats what im here for :)

please speak up in the speaker... its very difficult to hear you especcially if there is blenders and a coffe grinder going on...

if its raining... (sigh)
if its raining PLEASE turn off your wipers... not only do i have to strain to hear you through our now soaked speaker but then while you are in the comfort of your car i am getting splashed in the face with your wiper water...

to you late comer at the end of the night please know what you want... if not... let me help you decide... i know my coffee... tell me three things hot or cold? sweet or strong? name flavors you like... here is a list...
i am good at my job... nine times out of ten i will get what you like...

to those we ask to wait in the drive through...if you do ... THANK YOU you save our lives...to those to yell out your order... sigh... you get decaf...
there probably is an irate customer in the front who hasnt gotten his caffine yet...

PLEASE GET OFF YOUR PHONE i dont want to hear about so-and-sos new bf... i just want to know how i can make your day a little more amazing by the joy of caffine...

sigh...

we are your baristas...you order a quad venti nonfat no whip no foam vanilla latte...
make us mad we give you decaf quad venti breve no whip ninja foam sugar free latte...
