Re: Communication Breakdown...
So...you are the guys who go into the resturant then, read the menu and try to order something thats not on it??
Really, if you want to see how the other half do actually live, come and stand behind a coffee machine for a day and just see what we do put up with...
Or...
Just go and read the barista venting thread...
Honestly, you guys might be ONE person in the day that orders different...but that day has probably had any where up to 1000 drinks...and Im thinking of those places I know are doing 10 kg per day...
I will try and fulfil most peoples different requests. I could rattle off a hundred different drinks I do for people that all want it done really hot, quarter strength, very weak, with soy, half water/half milk, the list goes on...I know them all because theyre coming back again and again and I know them all by name...yes..thats because Im a barista, its my job. But sometimes, there is the straw that breaks the camels back I can tell you! (though I always try to oblige...really.)
The places that Rocky described are places that have people who make coffee, not baristas...and hes been to them once. Hence why he got the response he got...

Some people are just out to make your day difficult. Perhaps its some sorta power thing to be "different"...
