There are some moments in life where the stars align and you get to live out your dreams. Such was the case for one off-duty barista. As the OP shared, she had a day off work, and stopped into a coffee location to grab a quick drink. She wasn't alone, there were tons of customers, and the baristas working the restaurant seemed overwhelmed. But does that ever matter to a Karen? No, absolutely not, never ever! But the OP wasn't working, and spotted a chance to get some incredibly satisfying reven…

Society would crumble without the hardworking baristas who get up very early every morning to clock in and make us our lattes and americanos. I pledge my allegiance to the baristas everywhere who make it possible to order a fine caffeinated drink and receive excellent service each time. Working at a coffee shop is no walk in the park, though, as this collection of memes from barista-focused pages will reveal. You might think you know what goes on behind the counter of your favorite Starbies, bu…

This diner worker brewed a coffee-fueled tale of malicious compliance!

Coffee is love, coffee is life. For a beverage that is so acidic and low-key tasteless on its own, it's great with some cream or sugar. And it's clearly addicting, because many people drink it every single day. I, too, will continue to drink cold brew (humankind's best invention, don't @ me) every single day . Although there are many failed ways to drink coffee, a few of these are quite innovative , too, like the restaurant who gives out coffee ice cubes in lieu of iced coffee . But TBH, I woul…

Can you imagine actually applying to this?

This barista had it with a customer who angrily kept on demanding her discount over and over again.

Power in numbers

Just because someone works at one chain coffee shop location doesn't mean they work at every location.

Don't ask for things you don't actually want.

We'll start this one off by saying that there's no problem with being particular about one's cup of coffee. But, according to the age-old rule of “staying in your lane”, let other people have theirs how they like it too. It's not up to you to determine what it is that makes someone else happy, even if you feel particularly knowledgeable on that particular subject, you're just going to come accross as a know-it-all douchebag. Screenshots of both threads are attached below the original thread and…

These are the things that we justify being addicted to as a society.

It's inhuman!

"If caffeine makes me awake, more caffeine will make me the most awake. Right"

We don't like the idea of being “don't talk to me before I've had my coffee” people. Office-style coffee humor usually sucks. It's also depressing to admit that we need stimulants to have even a semblance of well-being on any given morning. So rather than a wink and a nod and a 20 dollar mug that has an inverse graph of happiness vs coffee drank or whatever, we'd just like to say: “this is not normal, we're sorry, and please don't talk to me until I've had my coffee." Now here are some work mem…

Huh. Alright then.

The customer is always something.
