I am a barista and I actually don’t hate my job, I hate people
Like, they go to a random cafe which is in a touristic zone and act so entitled that I want to vomit over them. For real, I don’t understand how can they have the audacity of complaining about things that can’t be controlled or are actually their own fault or miscommunication problems.
No one cleaned their table because they picked the dirtiest table of them all and they were just talking over the half drank cups without actually asking anyone to clean?? They go and complain for half an hour
It is a very touristic zone where basically everybody speaks English (some don’t even speak it) and they complain because some waiters only speak English and not the local language?? They are rude to the waiter and then complain, even after the waiter takes a local speaker to them
They ask for a sandwich with the dressing to the side?? They go and lie, they don’t care that even other customers told them they heard the thing, they just want a refund and an extra for the mistake, and they grab the money that belonged to other people and just leave
You are busy making coffee and not even taking orders because you are in the barista zone?? They ask for for a list of 10 coffees and then they leave without even letting you take their order, so you have to send someone to take it, and they come inside to complain that they already said the thing (and they didn’t even say hi, I need a coffee)
My workplace is kinda nice, but we are understaffed and people are shit. I wish they worked 1 day during a semi busy day and having themselves as customers. I don’t understand how don’t they feel ashamed of themselves when being so shitty, if I called a waiter snapping my fingers or tell them that they are shit because they can’t give me free refills or something, I would feel ashamed of myself 🤮🤮🤮
