Video: What Do You Hate About Your Job? Six Things I F*cking Hate About Serving You Coffee

What do you hate about your job? Really let loose for a second, forget about manners, being polite, or even holding your tongue. Let loose.
That’s what this Coffee Barista did, and it had me rolling on the floor the further I got in. It’s a greatly paced video of all the things you’ve seen at a coffee shop before that may have annoyed you.
You should watch the entire video to hear all the complaints, but thinking about the times I’ve ordered coffee, which I don’t usually drink (I’m a soda guy), these were a few of the items I really shared his hate for:
Warning: This video contains some strong language - go lock the kids in the closet when you play it
Four cup sizes
You’re in line (unless you’re guilty of the next item), feeling pressured, and if you’re not a regular customer, you have to relearn the language. I’ve been guilty before of just wanting “something in the medium range” of drink sizes - just make it easy for me!
People who don’t know how to form a line
I’m a passive aggressive guy. I’m a busy person so unwarranted confrontation is a waste of time because I have more important things to do. But for that same reason, I have to voice my extreme distaste for people that don’t get the hint when they see several people consecutively lined up behind one another.. it’s not that hard.
The Speed Racer Orders
Again, I’m not a regular and don’t know the verbiage. Last time I went, my favorite item, it turns out, was seasonal and I had to find something else to drink. Just because you can recite your order in under 2 seconds, don’t expect the same from me, I’m new here.
A**holes on their cell phones
Starbucks and other coffee houses are usually small places and busy places. Everyone can hear your conversation, you have no privacy, and should assume the the person calling, unless it’s a major emergency (in which case it’s probably wise to step out of line and go outside for enhanced clarity), they can probably wait to talk to you for a couple minutes.
So what do you hate about your job? About coffee houses? I’m curious

The others you mentioned don’t bother me too much, but the assholes on their cell phones are the WORST. This morning, I’m ordering my pumpkin spice latte, and I had to hear about how this girl’s boyfriend is probably cheating on her with her friend and what she should do to get back to him blah blah blah
HANG UP!
Hahaha, the asshole, asshole, ASSHOLE, part at the end was the funniest part
I work at a Starbucks and I would personally like to shoot the Princess’ that come in and want 1/4 soy, 1/4 non-fat and 1/4 breve. Firstly breve and non-fat? And what the heck happened to the other quarter!!! Can you not count?!?
Or the ever brilliant people who want a wet cappuccino with a quarter inch or less of foam. You mean a LATTE sweetheart? One brilliant customer responded with “no, lattes have too much milk”. I’m sorry did your brain just die from lack of use?
Let’s not forget, the extra hot with ICE CUBES. WTF!! Why?! Or sugar free vanilla extra extra caramel. If you’re attempting to cut down on your sugar consumption why not just get a reasonable ammount of caramel? Or better yet! Some exercise! Heaven knows that there’s enough SUV’s in the parking lot to kill an army with the exhaust fumes.
Or those lovely individuals who come once a week, and complain that we didn’t remember their drink. Firstly, we work shift work, the barista you’re talking to is not the same one that you ordered from last week. Secondly, we see at least a hundred individual customers each and every shift. We are physically incapable of remembering every drink that was ordered all shift and the names and faces of their owners. Thirdly, how could I possibly remake that “perfect” drink you had last time if you can’t describe it to me, can’t remember the name and/or face of the person who made it and can’t even remember what the hell you drank. I am not psychic, nor am I omnipresent, so you’ll have to throw me a bone here and give me a hint.
Or the most common annoyance. The indecisive whiners who order their drink then continually change their mind after we’ve called it. Dear God, I asked you if 2% was okay when you ordered. NOW you want non-fat?
Lastly, if you’re ordering a drink, speak clearly and enunciate at a volume that is audible over the music and retards on their phones. If you insist on mumbling quietly, don’t get offended when I ask you to repeat your order 2 or 3 or 12 times because otherwise I guess you’re just not going to get that “1/4 soy, 1/4 non-fat, 1/4 breve with just a 1/5th of an inch of foam cappuccino with 2 pumps of sugar free-vanilla and extra extra caramel in a cup of a size that you can’t decide”.
