reasons to tip ur local barista

1) they get paid very little and a lot of them drive great distances to get to work (i drive 30 miles one way, thats 60 miles a day in an suv that gets only 16 miles to gallon) and tips pay the majority of their bills

2) u may not think it is a stressfull job but you have to realize, there are hundreds of people wanting coffee everyday, the girls (or guys) who work the mornings usualy end up with 5-6 hours STRAIGHT of nonstop cars, which means no break, no food, no drink, no sitting down, no breathing, then u have people that dont understand this and complain, and it gets very stressfull

3) we give u ur boost for the day, everyone loves coffee

4) the majority of us go out of our way to be super friendly, even if we hate you, no not for the tips, but because we get yelled out if people dont return.

5) we steam (or pour out if its an iced drink) about 10-12 gallons a day of milk

6) unless u work at starbucks or some huge franchised place, you work alone, you have no one to talk to but urself, so once again, kinda not easy going job, you cant call in sick because no one else can cover your shift, if ur pukin ur brains out, guess what, u still have to work

and if we mix up ur drink, please remember that there have been 40-60 cars before you and it is easy to confuse your drink with someone with a simular one who stopped 4 cars before you.


sorry stressful day at work today but i was happy to ahve made about 125-150 in tips which goes to insurance for my car and the rest saved for college



edit** oh and u trying being hit on by a bunch of 40 year olds all day, gets pathetic, and sometimes quite disturbing

I also hate coffee.

I also believe 40 year olds like saliva in their coffee.

the barrista @ my restaurant would get tipped.. i think around 70 bucks aa good night...

Barrista sounds like someone who works with mud, not bars

I just found it funny that both of us have resorted to the same source at (almost) the same time

This thread reminds me of a barista at my university. Everytime I order a cappuccino, he brings me hot chocolate.

The hot chocolate becomes a free bonus, in the end

That's my concept of "the perfect job"

Yea it was quite good. I was only 16 (technically it was illegal for me to be using coffee machines at all), and a student at the time as well so didn't have to pay taxes on my wages. I was fucking LOADED.

i started doing this at 14, and then they had me training all the new people, then i moved to denver, then came back and worked for some bipolar bitch and now im back at this place,

Sounds great indeed but,

Why? Is it because you shouldn't be working at that age or...?

I knew a lot of barista's ( barristaaas or however you spelled it ) and most of them wouldn't drive more than 5 miles to go to work. It's pointless in my opinion.

You live in the boonies so you have no choice but keep in mind what you said was far from being the norm with mileage.


Otherwise yeah it could be annoying job I can only imagine.
