They're not doing any "extra" service, like a waitress would, they're just making the order like a fast-food worker does. <br /><br />And you know, I worked my way through college at Starbucks, so I'm always, always sympathetic toward baristas. <br /><br />But I just don't get the entitlement to tips that I hear from some baristas. The way I saw it was that tips were a superfluous generosity that we got to benefit from. A nice little perk that I never, ever counted on. I did, however, count on my paycheck, which was definitely adequate for the work I did. <br /><br />Bottom line is that I think it's lame for baristas to be grouchy if I want to keep my quarters. <br /><br />So. :)Rosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184681707251264464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21493147.post-28200378193487556812011-04-29T02:18:38.358-04:002011-04-29T02:18:38.358-04:00Before anyone does it--I beg you and implore you i...Before anyone does it--I beg you and implore you if your hair is chemically treated DO NOT DO THE STUPID NO SHAMPOO THING.

WHOA. And I agree totally agree with the author.<br /><br />The barista thing sounds so tense! Don't you just want to tell both sides to settle down and relax? I've never really had this problem, honestly. But I'm also a big believer in smiling, saying hello, and tipping! - never hurts to grease the wheels a little, and c'mon, if you've got 4 bucks for a coffee, you don't have another 25 -50 cents to say, "thanks?" And geez, I do think people should clean up after themselves - especially if there's a line/a crowd, because, geez, someone else might want your table and it's only considerate - of both baristas and other customers - to throw your silly cup away.fleur_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500249000124155885noreply@blogger.com
