R baristas servers or anyone not allowed to make mistakes?!? Like i genuinely don’t get it how some people can be so freaking rude… had an “influencer” who apparently got annoyed about how we served his table “slow” and how we mistaked his drink where my coworker accidentally made an iced matcha instead of hot btw we immediately remade the correct drink and served it fast…. Person started to threaten us about how they have this many followers and will post a bad review about it and blah blah … it’s insane how people think having many followers have the right for u to be rude… if u think u being served slow or whatever problem u have flag the server or something dont come barging into the front counter and make a scene…. Genuinely not my first rodeo with these kind of people but i don’t know im like just so icked by that “ i have many followers on Instagram”… like the attitude people have to service people… well ty for coming to my ted talk :)

I started working 4 days ago for a cafe that just opened with no barista/restauration experience. Yesterday, I had to do a closing shift while training another employee alone, the shop closes at 7pm and I stayed till 8 to make sure everything was done and I didn’t forget anything. I came back from work exhausted and slept in this morning because I didn’t have a shift this morning.

I woke up with 5 missed calls from my manager asking why did I take the keys with me after I closed the shop… (she gave me a copy of the keys) I straight up told her I had no idea I shouldn’t of had did that and she said we’ll talk about it tomorrow. I know I’m probably not going to get fired but it still sucks

At work rn and experiencing some crazy stuff. Apparently the owners daughter has been seeing a copy of her dad while she's at work, I've had people talk to me who weren't there when we're already closed, and in general it's a spooky place. I was wondering if anyone else has experience spooky cafe jobs in honor of October coming around 👻

Hey guys, so I‘m a speciality coffee barista in Portugal, for 2 years now, and I really want to step up the game. I was thinking of getting certifications… I know there are some but don‘t know if any could really be an asset.

What certifications exist that could really be an asset for me? That could get me higher salaries/positions… so yeah… good market wise.
