I just came back home after a long shift of dishwashing, vacuuming, moping, and making about 20-30 drinks in a cafe where I work as a part time barista apart from my IT day job.
I took part time barista work to polish my coffee skills and learn a bit more about this sweet drug, but I feel that there is not enough coffee making work in the evenings and we (baristas) end up doing just cleaning and housekeeping. Is this a normal practice everywhere?
I understand that a barista is required to keep their area and machines clean but cleaning for 3-4 in a 5 hour shift? I may just sound dumb to many people here, but I'm really curious what you guys think and have experienced as baristas?
PS: Please forgive my cranky mood.
