being a barista is super fun honestly, but the Starbucks Customers make me so mad. like, if you order a macchiato, please be aware that it’s literally a 3oz drink. its not some frou frou caramel drink with whipped cream its espresso and one ounce of foam. that cappuccino post made me think abt it and yeah we actually have. buttons on our register for “sbux small” and “sbux large” for macchiatos, in which its just a latte w the espresso poured after the milk lmao.

also the sheer audacity customers have to ask me for directions to the nearest starbucks or walk into our store holding a starbucks drink like. fucka you

and like, i get asked at least five times a shift if we can make frappuccinos. no. the answer is No.

also while im waiting for my tea to steep, since im petty, and they cant fire me any more than they already have i can tell you about the Button That Makes You Lie To People because i CANNOT stop thinking about it and its driving me fucking nuts

i worked at a fancy gourmet coffee shop, but not everyone who came in knew that or cared, so we’d occasionally get ppl who got all their coffee knowledge from starbuckses. starbuckae? starbukakke

anyway sbux has this thing where they’re literally just wrong about what they call some drinks. for example, a cappuccino is traditionally a double shot of espresso with milk foam, like a few sips of drink, but at starbucks the smallest possible “cappuccino” is 8oz and espresso with that much milk? is really just a bastard latte. 

but to explain that to someone who doesnt know better takes time, and there a line forming, and a latte… is close enough to what someone who thinks of a cappuccino as a 16oz drink is expecting.

so if someone asked for a “large cappuccino” we were instructed to go “okay :)”, plug in a large latte, and then, before they could see, scroll down to the secret buttons, the forbidden buttons, the deceit buttons, and press the one called “cappuccino”, in “quotes”, which would not only put a cappuccino on their receipt, but would send a message to the barista, across the room, who would then make a latte, see the pink “cappuccino” indicator, and go 

“large cappuccino? :)” 

and i just, like, that’s just, i love how, food is made up and not real

i get that some people don’t like making fun of others’ appearances, i get that, but im sorry that rule sometimes just does not apply. like when it comes to people like ed sheeran and adam driver, these dudes are cishet white men who are worth millions of dollars and have thousands of doting fans. if i wanna talk about how ed sheeran looks like a bridge troll and adam driver’s torso looks like a cardboard box on my blog that they will never see, read, or know about, i’m gonna do it

I procrastinate so much that I have a gaping hole of dread inside my chest where I think my other emotions are supposed to go. unless a potential employer is reading this, in which case I don’t do that & I have all the normal emotions that human beings have & I love capitalism
