Do you actually call yourself a "barista" or do you say "I work at starbucks"? [/ QUOTE ] I usually say "I slang coffee." My actual title is Shift Supervisor. I would never refer to myself as a lowly Barista. |

Re: Ask me about Starbucks
quids,
Most people who get coffee don't go on a special trip to get it. Or, if they do, it is a desirable trip that lets them take a break and get out of the office. |

Re: Ask me about Starbucks
[ QUOTE ]
I've heard a friend cite UBB (Universal Beverage Base) as why he will never drink at Starbucks. What is it, and why is he repulsed by it. I did not inquire further at the time he talked about it, or simply chose to ignore him, because he's kind of a bitch about a lot of stuff. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure what's ridiculously worse about it than any other combination of random processed crap he probably eats on a daily basis. It's just a sugary cream powder that is mixed with nonfat milk in order to provide the base for all the Creme based Frappuccinos. |

Vehn,
I think you need to work at an independent coffee shop to be a barista. |

Re: Ask me about Starbucks

I have a friend who firmly believes you can get free Starbucks by using a $100 bill because employees are instructed not to break them. True/false? [/ QUOTE ] Sort of both. Depends on immediate availability of money, you dig? We'll ask for other forms of payment. Depending on the drink, (like 2 dollar coffee as opposed to 5 dollar whatever) I'll tell them "I got it this time." Usually people will break out the charge card when I tell them I can't break it. Certain baristas won't know how to react, and you might end up with no drink at all. |

Re: Ask me about Starbucks
bob,
My friend claims to have met a barista on the train who modified his pin/nametag to look like this. He even claimed better tips with it. Any chance this would ever fly? |

CB, Grade my coffee ordering: 50%: Large coffee 25%: Double espresso 12.5%: Double latte 10%: Double cappucino 2.5%: Large americano [/ QUOTE ] I like it. You order simplistic drinks that still taste good, and don't have a lot of [censored] modifiers. Also, I like the fact that you switch it up, rather than getting the same thing every time. I've seen people daily order the same thing for months at a time, and I don't understand it. Try some variety! |
