Ordering coffee can sometimes be stressful, especially in places like Starbucks when the choices are endless.
What type, size, extra shot, to go or sit in – so many questions and half the time you end up getting flustered and ordering the wrong thing. But if you’re getting flustered, think how the baristas feel. It must be so annoying to have someone standing there in front of you humming and hawing over the simplest decisions.
One of those baristas has given some pretty honest answers on Reddit about what it’s really like to work as a coffee barista and revealed how to deal with annoying customers.
She said that she has a unique approach to dealing with customers who are pissing her off, and that’s by putting a sticker on their cup. The reason being that the cup is no longer as attractive and worthy of an Instagram post.
She said while sharing an example of the cups:
“My petty joy is putting stickers on the siren logo when annoying teenagers order millions of fraps at once so their Instagram posts are ruined ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s the little things.”
This isn’t a definite sign that we are annoying the baristas, but chances are if one person does it then it’s probably a done thing behind the coffee counter.
I’m not going to lie I’ve had a few stickers thrown on my cups from time to time – whoops.
