That's what I did! We experimented with so many different coffees and flavors! We also had shot wars but we started fearing for our lives...and the jumpiness scared the customers. ;)
Took me a second to realize that you were referring to being a barista and not referring to trying people's drinks. :p

That's weird because I can't picture you at all as a barista, Catlynn.

Because you just seem too cool to be one. :D I mean you work with kids with special needs, you have such a great attitude towards life and well I just picture baristas as liberal, progressive, etc..

Gosh, If I worked as a barista, I would be sooo tempted to taste every new concoction that I whipped up for someone. Can see myself getting fired for taking a sip of customers drinks before putting the lid on :).

I've been a Starbucks barista, and it's not all that great. I do miss my discount and pound a week of coffee.

Barista? - Is that like Sandinista?
- - Sounds like some sort of revolutionary political movement!
- - - Like you are serving coffee with Che Guevara berets on.
- - - -Like you have a gunbelt with packets of creamer and assorted condiments inside the bullet holders.
- - - - - "Would you like cream with that coffee?!?......(you fascist!)"
- - - - - - "You better have some mayonnaise with that sandwich don't 'cha think !?!" (And it better be non-fat or else you're a capitalist pig!!)

(Just a joke):p

Wow...*I'M* too cool? Lol
I should note though that I was a barista when I lived in Hawaii, long before special needs kids and such. Though, I don't know that I'd ever describe myself as liberal or progressive.....o_O

I was a barista, and I've been known to occasionally vote democrat, so yeah... call baristas are super liberal.


For instance:

1) I have freckles.

2) I go to a church with more than 4 people.

3) I've used a Mac! And I have an iPhone.

4) I use Skype daily.

5) Blue is my favorite color... so you KNOW I'm a Democrat!

6) I wear flip flops just about everywhere I go in the summer.

7) I read every night before bed.

8) I make ridiculous jokes to prove my overly sarcastic points.

Well what I meant about baristas is that I think most of them (not all of them of course) are like apple store employees. Secular, atheist, pro-abortion, defenders of gay rights, worried about global warming and carbon footprints, can't wait for the next iphone or ipad to come out, etc..

hmmmmm.........

Not arguing with you, but do you think this kind of personality gravitates toward these kinds of jobs, or do you think that these companies are looking for that kind of person? And with this sucky economy where everyone grabs whatever job one can find, do you see this changing?

Perhaps these are the long term side effects of overexposure to coffee

Come on we're talking Starbucks here. Its one of the hippest hottest places for young people to work these days besides the Apple store. It wouldn't matter if the economy was surging, starbucks is and was still a hip place for young people to work, so you'll find a lot of hip young people working there (note: hip does not = hippy). Although I read a recent article by someone who worked there and she said that working there actually sucks.

I went to Starbucks yesterday. There was a middle-aged Korean woman who barely spoke English working there. She was very smiley, but she didn't seem very "hip". She seemed a lot more like somebody's mother, the kind who forces food on you when you say you're not hungry, but you eat anyway to be polite, and it's the best food ever.

...um...yeah, I'm missing points here, probably.

Good morning, and whatnot.

The time I ordered something from Starbucks and said small and the young man behind the counter corrected me in Italian and I said, well we in America order small and it means small so I'll take the small. I hate the smell in Starbucks and I avoid it. yuck.

That must not be a real starbucks, or she's probably the owner of that store.

I'd say good morning but there isn't anything good about it yet. :p
