I’ll cop some shit for this one, but coffee baristas.
you put some grounds in a machine, twiddle some nobs and pour milk in a wave pattern
edit: judging by the amount of downvotes ive either pissed off all the Bachelor of Arts grads working as baristas or all the coffee snobs who still think making coffee is some sort of art that can only be done by the most highly trained baristas. Yes, I also love coffee. No, making it is not some sort of complicated thing which is the point of this post (and topic of this thread), and no, I am not disparaging anyone working as a barista (unless they are an Arts grad, sorry) because a job is a job and all jobs deserve respect
It isn’t making the coffee that’s hard, it’s being on your feet for 8 solid hours while getting assaulted by a Karen every 30 minutes and playing the memory game of 3 pumps vanilla no foam cinnamon powder vinti super choco-latte. The coffee is just a minor part of the job.
You didn’t make it clear to the rest of us that it annoyed you! We’ll make sure we all tailor our behaviour so you don’t have to deal with the inconvenience of seeing a joke which you’ve deemed unacceptable.
Please accept our sincere apologies, we shall all strive to please you more in future :) x
I spent years in restaurants and retail stores working thru my teens and twenties.
The management in those places is usually a joke. Over serious, under educated people taking themselves far too seriously. They work hard because they’re inefficient most of the time, not because the jobs are actually difficult too. At least that’s the experience I had along with my friends before we got wise and gtfo of that environment.

Tell me you’ve never worked in hospitality without telling me you’ve never worked in hospitality.

Would you like me to adjust who I am to better suit your preference too?
I didn’t know the mighty sniper thought I was a weirdo :(

Best coffee is anywhere but the US.
From Asia to Africa, all the shops I’ve visited had good espressos and coffee.
Customer service is also a joke here.
What exactly is your definition of “taking too seriously”?
