A baristas breakfast?

[Luke_G]

I woke up late this morning and rushed to work in an attempt not to be late in the process skipping breakfast.Got to work, took the couch and tables out and made the staff their caffeinated drinks of preference and started feeling extremely hungry.

It was about that point i started getting really busy and it was obvious i was not going to have time to eat anything decent. I looked around for something that was in close proximity and these were my choices..

Coffee beans(obvious)
Sugar sticks(tasty but not a breakfast of champions)
Tea leaves(EW!)
Marshmellows(?)

You guessed it! 1/2 a dozen pink marshmellow and a glass of milk! ;D

My point?... no point really i was just curious to know how often this happens to fellow baristas?

Im not the only one right?.......RIGHT?! :-?

Dont all tips charge at the gate going in and going out nowdays?

My tip - I never eat breakfast anyway: no time with kidlets to get ready, and caffeine is a great appetite suppressant!!!

Bad girl, I know (dont know ifI qualify as being a young un though!) :-[

Re: A baristas breakfast?

when I used to work at a certain large restaurant at Circular Quay, if we were too busy for me to grab a bite I used to do much the same thing Luke, a few marshmallows with coffee beans jammed in them and a glass of milk. Certainly stopped my tummy from rumbling!

I used to have a soy latter first thing a work when we still had the Vitasoy (weve moved to the Barista Vitasoy now, not sure if that works as well). The thicker texture seemed to trick my body into accepted i had been fed long enough for me to hold off until lunchtime.... though there have been days where lunch was just a repeat performance of brekkie! :

Re: A baristas breakfast?

Used to do that when I worked in a small serviced office in Adelaide, Iced coffee from the vending machine was lunch some days.

Re: A baristas breakfast?

yes to the soy latte, off the home machine every morning... fruit loops as a kicker when I feel indulgent.

And when Im the 6am start at work... double shot flat white and pick at the meats as Im making sandwiches (mmmm shaved ham, silvaside).
