Hey, barista friends, we love you. you make our daily fix of caffeine just the way we like it with a smile and some witty banter. A double shot of that flavor we like? No problem! Want awesome latte art on your mochaccino? Easy peasy! Want to chug down something strong enough to wake your great-great-grandmother from the dead? You got it. You’re that small slice of intellectual entertainment we get in the morning, and we appreciate that.
That’s why we just can’t fathom why customers would ever want to be mean to you. but we know you got this. You sometimes know how to express your displeasure in more creative ways beyond that simple misspelled name.
So let us laugh along with you, baristas. You deserve the spotlight.
When you’re not your competitor, you wonder why this customer is even here.

We want to help you out, but seriously, what do you want us to make you?

I see what you’re trying to do, but that won’t fly here.
If you order 2 double espressos in the same cup instead of a quad espresso you deserve too get charged for 2 doubles. #BaristaProblems

It can be pretty tough not to roll eyes.
“Tall nonfat flat white with no foam” You want a double tall nonfat no foam ristretto latte? “No. Don’t you know your job?” #baristaproblems

And sometimes, people just forget they have the ability to read.

We appreciate you tipping us, but sexual innuendoes don’t pay the rent. And no, just please stop.
#dearcustomer making sexual innuendos isn’t cute, but inappropriate. I’m here to make you coffee, not be sexually harassed. #baristaproblems

And then there are the insane orders.

Admit it; you don’t really like coffee; you just want a sweet cold drink.
If I have to make one more god forsaken frappuccino tonight I swear to god I’ll put myself in the blender #baristaproblems

No, I don’t think you understand what a flat white really means.

Empty threats? Oh sure, we love to be entertained!

If I stay real still, maybe they won’t see I’m here.
