Maybe the degree was in something TRULY important.... like Medieval Gender Studies. And she gets to impart Medieval Gender Study factoids with each cuppa brew. She's found her purpose in life.... annoying Starbucks customers.
One MIGHT make an exception for the Castrati, Catholic church choir boys who were castrated to preserve their soprano voices for well into their adult years. And I'm sure that someone with a degree in that would make a big deal out of it.
we shouldn't have to for them. Starbucks offers a full ride for tuition to some online university. I mean, we shouldn't have to pay off anyone's school loans, but especially them since they are given a way to pay for college totally free.
I would love to see these twits do a week or even a day of my work when I was less than a year out of high school. I started at 4:30 AM to turn on the grill/griddle, and do a bit of prep(blanch bacon, cut fruit, slice up 3-4 loaves of egg bread for french toast, load the cold table, get the steam table ready, slice up breakfast ham, make oatmeal and cream of wheat) to open the restaurant at 5 AM. Half a wheel of tickets by 5:30 and I was already in hover mode. How in the hell is a person with a degree in retard going to manage 6 egg pans(with varying egg demands), half a dozen or more breakfast steaks(of varying doneness), 5 orders of french toast, manage 1/3 of a grill of hash browns to get them to perfection, 4 country fried steaks in the fryer, and 2 sets of basted eggs, and 1 perfectly poached egg, and have each ticket timed to be up in the window at the same time. All the while you have lifer waitresses wanting their food first(even though their tickets were last on the wheel), or having to redo a plate b/c some joker wanted over easy eggs(but they really meant medium b/c they didn't really know the difference) did I mention there was no PoS set up with nice printed tickets---hand written baby, I knew every waitress by their handwriting......and you did all of this right in plain view of two counters, there was no hidden kitchen like every place is today. I also worked at the Holiday Inn at the same time, doing the dinner/evening service and handling the insanely busy sports bar, 60-80hr weeks at that time were not uncommon, I also managed to knock out quite a few community college classes when I wasn't doing the job at the Holiday Inn any more, and no one helped me or subsidized anything b/c I would have felt I was incompetant as a man.
It was an experience I wouldn't trade, I learned a LOT about people, boosted my good work ethic even higher than was instilled in me from when I was helping my dad who was a GC.
Lol, these people think we've never worked retail? That's how I got to where I am today with a professional sales job in finance. Working in the real world and building skills to get more opportunity turned out to be way more valuable than any of my friends who went to college for four years with a ton of sunny and still have mediocre paying jobs. Not the case for all degrees but the trade school/life experience vs general college degree mantra is certainly true.
It's time parents start outlining all the options for their kids and let them pursue what they want to do instead of acting like university is the only option.
These people think we didn't start off in shit jobs they got stuck in. Hey kids, most of us did way worse than pull coffee. Some of us got shot, blown up, have full disability and still work. We just moved up the food chain because we don't suck at life. Fuck off
Alot of that is our own faults. We allowed participation trophies, we normalized everyone gets a spot. Now kids have no idea how to deal with rejection, nor self soothe. They do not have a sense of self. I would say Social Media has done a huge part in this aswell.
I say "we" I mean society bro. There are still chads among the flock for sure. I raised my kids to be hard. I raised my kids to be strong also. Both physically, and mentally. I am not the "WE"......but It's my generation, the 50 and 40 year olds who had kids early in life. These are the whiney little bitch kids.
I must admit that I would not at all enjoy serving coffee to entitled customers, but I think that he would not be able to handle a physical and dangerous job in construction or an office job with high pressure and serious consequences for failure. Stuff that society just can't function without.
Not a job I would want, especially in some large urban libtard area (not that I would ever live in that environment) - losers yelling at you all day and shitty money. We can have some respect for the fact that they are holding a job.
I'll even give 2 brownie points... lol...so many people today don't work - they just live off of the rest of us who do, and at least these people have enough dignity to earn their own living. But you are right - complaining is not good either - learn new skills and try to improve your lot in life. Complaining is a waste of energy.
Oh yeah, those poor weenies have to... have to..... INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC!! Oh the HORRORS! And like pour beans into a pre-set grinder and push a button! ....and clean the customer area. ....and occasionally the bathrooms. OH THE HUMANITY!
These people are so good at their jobs that any coffee shop with any kind of volume will pay 15 to 30k for a machine that does everything per cup from grinding beans to foaming milk, to adding the machiato juice. These retards only need to write names on a cup, take your money, and refill the bean hopper every once in a while.
20 years ago when I worked at a McDonald's the 'burger flipper' moniker didn't even apply, as the griddle had this clamshell thing that ran on a timer. All I had to do was put the burger patties down, sprinkle a little salt and pepper from a shaker, and press one of two buttons depending on what size patty it was. I can only imagine the automation has gotten even more idiotpoof since then.
Eventually robots will stack the shelves at Target, cook the fries at Wendy's, and serve the coffee at Starbucks. Then, FINALLY, we will have heard the last of the self-benighted retail/service class extolling the virtues of their contributions to civilization. You want real work that people need? Go be a plumber, electrician, welder, automotive tech, etc, if the rigors of STEM are beyond your capabilities.
Lmao ah yes. The guys working oil rigs and powerlines, them women doing nursing and daycare services, would weap at the prospect of a McDonalds level job they all probably started working at at 16 because their based parents made them.
Some of the most entitled feeling workers in the world are those that occupy the title of barista at Starbucks. The only thing worse are the people that buy Starbucks daily.
They can't even make a coffee right but they act like they are gonna be lawyers or some shit.
Not everyone considers sobbing in the corner an option for any shitty job now matter how bad or stressful. Shows her mentality right there. Adults don’t act like that when they have a job they find too difficult.
They physically can't keep up. Most of the time it's the 18-22 year olds thinking they will get a cute part time job and free drinks, and then they give up because it's actually hard work. I agree it's a good paying job for what it is, no one should be complaining about the pay. I'm just there now because I lost my job from not getting vaxed. I can't find a job in healthcare anymore in my area. I'll need to come across a based private practice to continue in my field. They (the baristas) are all just up in arms because of Ted Cruz's comment about them being slackers. It is a demanding job, especially now because we are always short staffed. But yeah, you shouldn't be expecting a handout because you decided on a bs major and can only find an entry level job now with that degree. I know that's what Cruz meant, but instead it just created this stupid digital war causing even more divide.
They literally can’t keep up with the multitasking. It’s like the mind/hand connection doesn’t work for some people when you need to be fast and accurate. I don’t even keep up most of the time during peek. We had 15 min wait time today and I literally thought I was about to get punched in the face by a customer because of that lol. Lol and did you copy and paste an old resume or something (I say this lightheartedly, you made me laugh). Like I get it. You worked hard. So do I. It would be like someone saying you just made candy all day. I don’t just pour coffee all day. I literally do all that you listed plus more and then get to clean blood and feces off the bathroom walls from people shooting up. I worked other service jobs while I was in school too. Even worked two my sophomore year. I get it’s nothing compared to other jobs like military, construction, ect. But I can say (at least from my store) this has been harder work than serving or retail (from my own personal experience). But I totally agree that some jobs you just need to move on. I would never want to do this long term. it’s not worth it and I’m trying to move on. I’m trying to find something in my field but it’s been impossible since I’m not vaxxed. Fun times.
Oh for sure. This isn’t a forever type of job. Those that go get ridiculous “degrees” then can only find a job in these type of settings have no right to be crying for tuition forgiveness. I would never want to be part of a Starbucks union. I took this job to get cash fast. People are just all worked up because of Ted Cruz calling baristas slackers. I get why they’re mad cause I am definitely not slacking. I would argue that I work harder than him each day (lol jk kind of). But I get what he actually meant, just a poor way of communicating on his part causing even more divide imo.
I know ppI who work 12 hrs working at a place so loud, you literally can't hear anyone unless you yeII right next to them. All while G A S P standing. I myself sometimes work all wk straight at times. That's 56 hrs, though that's easily way more because of overtime. Oh, and I stand a lot, too.
How about try a commission only sales job as only income with 3 babies and one one the way, all while trying to balance family, work and hunting season...
Hey hey, have you heard some of the Starbucks customers' orders?
They get really in-depth!
Also, news to Sarah: conservatives don't really "bring up barista" as a lazy slacker job; it's all fast food in general. But more people are realizing every day that fast food, while low skill, is not actually low work.
But more leftists are baristas and pissing/offending a leftist is pretty fun. Everything we do offends you guys, even in simple, unoffensive conversation.
I fully respect any business to sell whatever they want. Capitalism in action. However, I view people who frequently indulge in coffee-to-go services as foolish people who are wasting their money. The fact is, services like this should not be as successful as they are. Coffee should be homemade 99 percent of the time.
People make living wages doing all sorts of things. Teaching, manufacturing, driving, digging ditches, and making coffee. If starbucks is paying them a living wage and still turning a profit, people must like their product. If they aren't paying a living wage, and you want one, then negotiate a better wage (and be worth it to the company) or go somewhere else.
No one should 'set' the wages, not employees or employers. It'll work itself out. Pay too little, no one will work for you. Demand too much, no one will hire you. Honest work for honest pay. It's not that hard. Anyone who's ever ran their own business knows this. And those good employees that work hard, or even better: those that 'buy in' to your vision? You'll happily bend over backwards and pay them more just to keep them. Same goes for good bosses. You'll work extra hard for the good ones, and do amazing things for the great ones.
By the way, I said all jobs have (some level of) importance. I never said all jobs should pay a living wage. If you mow my lawn once a week, I'm not paying you enough to cover your rent. Go get more clients. Your job doesn't pay enough? Get second job, or find new ones. No skills? Get some. Nobody hiring? Do your own thing. Can't be successful in any of those? Maybe it's not always the system keeping a man down. Maybe sometimes it's just you. (you in general, not you personally).
"I love how “barista” is the job conservatives bring up as a lazy slacker job when one shift at a moderately busy Starbucks would have them crouched between stacks of milk crates sobbing in the back room".
In what Universe does this person actually reside?! OMG!! The pressure of that job is so intense! Of course in her world I'm sure many NPCs do just that at work. When I was a student, I worked as a server in a busy restaurant. Some nights were really crazy, and there was certainly some pressure on all of us. I never once saw a co-worker, conservative or otherwise, overwhelmed by the high volume of customers being served.
lmao just bought one, $20 iced coffee maker paid for itself in a week and a half. It takes the measuring part completely out of the equation.
Sippin' on an Iced MAGA Blend Dark Roast Mocha.
they don't even hot brew much, they cold brew, which is like dunking a big coffee bag in a bucket of cool water for a day.
Maybe the degree was in something TRULY important.... like Medieval Gender Studies. And she gets to impart Medieval Gender Study factoids with each cuppa brew. She's found her purpose in life.... annoying Starbucks customers.
Modern or Medieval? The distinction is important. Hehehehe....
Oh, EVEN BETTER!! Ok, you win the Internet today, I yield.
Medieval Gender studies should have been a breeze since there were only two genders back then.
One MIGHT make an exception for the Castrati, Catholic church choir boys who were castrated to preserve their soprano voices for well into their adult years. And I'm sure that someone with a degree in that would make a big deal out of it.
we shouldn't have to for them. Starbucks offers a full ride for tuition to some online university. I mean, we shouldn't have to pay off anyone's school loans, but especially them since they are given a way to pay for college totally free.
Not if the courts have something to say about it.

Half a wheel of tickets by 5:30 and I was already in hover mode. How in the hell is a person with a degree in retard going to manage 6 egg pans(with varying egg demands), half a dozen or more breakfast steaks(of varying doneness), 5 orders of french toast, manage 1/3 of a grill of hash browns to get them to perfection, 4 country fried steaks in the fryer, and 2 sets of basted eggs, and 1 perfectly poached egg, and have each ticket timed to be up in the window at the same time.

So little miss entitled barista can kiss my ass.
I would updoot ya for chitty bang bang, but you're already at 17.
And ya left out a chitty.
Lol, these people think we've never worked retail? That's how I got to where I am today with a professional sales job in finance.

It's time parents start outlining all the options for their kids and let them pursue what they want to do instead of acting like university is the only option.
These are the same people who can't serve police officers because they triggered lol. Talk about not being able to handle the pressure.
Wow. their lives are so strenuous. Yawn.
oh, okay, will I still be able to do their extremely strenuous job of serving coffee
YAWN
I'll need a break in the cry closet if it pleases your lordship
KEKEKEKE!
These people think we didn't start off in shit jobs they got stuck in. Hey kids, most of us did way worse than pull coffee. Some of us got shot, blown up, have full disability and still work. We just moved up the food chain because we don't suck at life. Fuck off

I bet she talk shit about fast food workers.
They are like the nascar pit crews of food assembly.

I must admit that I would not at all enjoy serving coffee to entitled customers, but I think that he would not be able to handle a physical and dangerous job in construction or an office job with high pressure and serious consequences for failure. Stuff that society just can't function without.
Imagine them being on the construction site, and being screamed at by a foreman? "God gave you 2 arms for carrying shit you little bitch!"
They get breaks.
ha. Try running a full bar plus service bar for a restaurant cranking out 800 dinners a night..
Bet they couldn't remember all the drinks without asking "What would you like in your.... and writing it on the cup...
Not a job I would want, especially in some large urban libtard area (not that I would ever live in that environment) - losers yelling at you all day and shitty money. We can have some respect for the fact that they are holding a job.
Yeah that's not a good environment...no wonder good people are getting the hell out. These places are becoming lawless cesspools.
I'll even give 2 brownie points... lol...so many people today don't work - they just live off of the rest of us who do, and at least these people have enough dignity to earn their own living. But you are right - complaining is not good either - learn new skills and try to improve your lot in life. Complaining is a waste of energy.
Fair enough, but some of them deserve our respect.
Always inventing the narrative.
Yupp. No republican has ever worked a job harder than an entry level minimum wage coffee pourer at a chain apparently lmao
They don't get that we thrive on pressure and deadlines.
Carry sheet rock up stairs all day then lets talk
Starbucks is over priced mediocre brown liquid, made by stirring hot water with a brown canyon.
Oh yeah, those poor weenies have to... have to..... INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC!! Oh the HORRORS! And like pour beans into a pre-set grinder and push a button! ....and clean the customer area. ....and occasionally the bathrooms. OH THE HUMANITY!
Give me a break.

enjoying your empowerment? tell me you're the weaker sex without telling me you're the weaker sex
How about try a commission only sales job as only income with 3 babies and one one the way, all while trying to balance family, work and hunting season...
I enjoy the quiet time with God as well.
Maybe thats why starbucks coffee taste like absolute shit.

I wouldn't know since I don't pay $8.00 for a cup of flavored water made by someone with super aids and monkey pox.
All jobs are important.
Some are just more important than others.
Food handler? Somewhat important (who wants food poisoning? Who likes gross coffee?)
School bus driver? Important (keep the kiddles safe)
Airline Pilot? Important (keep passengers safe)
Air traffic controller? Very important (keep all those pilots safe)
Blacksmith? Very important (the kingdom was lost for want of a nail)
A barista is important to me WHEN I order a coffee because I'm in a time crunch.
A pilot's skill is important to me when I'm flying.
An air traffic controller is important to alot of people, all the time, especially those living next to an airport.
A neurosurgeon is incredibly important if I need brain surgery... Not so important otherwise.
Why do we have a potato in what is arguably one of the most important jobs in the country? Biden needs to go.
I'd like to see this barista trying to be a 911 dispatcher, air traffic controller, or running OPSEC for a domestic counterintelligence mission.
For good or ill, you're not wrong.
Unions are stupid.

YAWN....About to go fix my coffee in a DRIP FILTER carafe' with Black Rifle Coffee Company EXTRA Strong ground coffee...WOWZA!!!!!
Once I discovered BRC I have NOT had ANOTHER StarFucks Coffee in, OHHH, about 8 years or there abouts...
Takes a lot of Brain Cells to be a Barista...Just sayin'!!!!!!!!
Conservatives would do that job better. My coffee is never put in the blender long enough from that crap hole place.
She’s virtue signaling to the peasants.
I did my time as a grocery clerk, coffee maker and soda / slurpee jerk at 7-11, first real job and not yet out of high school.
