Barista = Coffee Pourer Cart Retrieval Technician = Cart Pusher Pharmaceutical Transit Specialist = Drug Dealer
This is how we compensate for our failures in life. Let us conceal no longer our inabilities to procure middle-class status. The proletariat will crush the bourgeoisie! 7/29/2010 11:19:22 PM |

maybe at a shitty coffee shop
but at a place where nothing is automated, measured, or timed, a good barista is much more than a coffee pourer
and i don't drink or make coffee, so this isn't some stretch on behalf of myself or my barista 7/29/2010 11:25:47 PM |

I used to be a barista.
Soul-crushing shit.
And by soul-crushing I mean the people you work with are stupid and the people you serve are stupid.
But that was kind of the whole fast food industry in general.
And yea I consider chain coffee stores Fast Food, and so is Panera Bread, fast casual my ass. 7/29/2010 11:26:31 PM |

^ I would think that coffee shops might have a slightly more intelligent clientele
however, slightly intelligent people can be just as annoying as stupid people 7/29/2010 11:32:06 PM |

I've worked at an indie shop and a Counter Culture shop but I've been doing it three and a half years.
I bet fast-food or chain baristas do get pretty soul-crushed. It's great to work in a place where I can actually craft something and not just churn out burnt drip coffee and caramel frappes. I'm not ragging on chain stores but I'll take lower volume and more freedom if I can. 7/30/2010 11:44:14 AM |

I believe in between my jobs at Percolator Lounge & Royal Bean, I applied at Starbucks b/c of the benefits package they give their employees that work 20 hours a week or more.
I nailed the interview. But I never got a callback. I found out later from a friend of mine that worked at Starbucks that they don't look too kindly on hiring people that worked at independent coffee houses. 7/30/2010 11:54:53 AM |

I worked at a bar that had a big ass espresso machine. After that, my respect for baristas went WAY up...and I held them in a pretty favorable light to begin with. 7/30/2010 11:59:13 AM |

I'm curious as to which former baristas have a coffeebar set up in their house?
I've got an espresso machine, Ghiradelli chocolate sauces, Monin & Torani syrups, jiggers, plastic cups, lids and straws 7/30/2010 12:06:29 PM |

Downtown on Fayetteville Street is Busy Bee. It's a bar, too. Good beer and coffee in one place.
I really want to get a machine for the house but I'm spoiled after using the LM GB5 at work and big Dosatrons at Cup.
Your house sounds like a coffeeshop I want to go to! 7/30/2010 12:24:39 PM |
