To those two lovely customers who bought difficult to make lattes and cappuccinos at 6:30am on Saturday. I hope that I made your drink too hot and you burnt your pretty little mouths and you choke on your cinnamon buns. You think that i enjoy waking up on my Saturday morning just to give you a nice smile and you don’t even tip. I was fast and I’m told I’m a great barista, but not by you. Serving you was a slap in the face. I hope that Karma goes and makes you drop your change purse and all the homeless people get to the change before you can even pick it up you cheap Bitches. Good morning!

Tell your boss that you are the best espresso puller in the city and that you should be paid more or you’re gone. See how that works.
Wow it always amazes me that people really don’t get that they aren’t entitled to a gratuity.Perhaps you are the best barista at your coffee shop, still doesn’t mean you can’t drop the ball every now and then.
again expectation led 2 sufferingu r a barista so barist with a smile or change ur occupation huh?

surprise! people who go to coffee shops want coffee.maybe you need a new job, wimp.
wow if you can’t make the fucking lattes then you shouldn’t be working there with that sorry fuck of an attitude?!! I wouldn’t tip you either!
maybe they could sense your shitty, entitled attitude. I WORK in food service and am VERY good at my job, but that makes me all the more partial to tipping. it is not mandatory, nor should it be. it’s always the bitter bitches i work with, who expect 15% after sub-par service, that get shitty tips. the people who do a great job BECAUSE its thier job, tips or no, are the ones who are rewarded either through praise or tips
Your shift starts at 6:30am? Stop bitching on having to get up on a Saturday to be a “barista”…if you don’t want to make “difficult” coffee for people at 6:30 am, then go be a “barista” at Tim Hortons, their stuff is fairly simple…dr is correct, expectation leads to suffering…STOP EXPECTING TIPS FOR THE JOB YOU ARE ALREADY PAID WAGES TO DO…
Just because of this post, I will not tip anymore. I love it when they think they’re so entitled.
matt you are very very childish. since you reappeared in the bitches all you have done is spue hatered towards this person. this could be considered harassment dude. why not chill out? relax. so what she posts, free country. you express your opinon , she gives hers so what the fuck! matt really you are obsessed with the princess bitch. give it a rest its boring . get over it.
Do you really think people don’t know you’re the same person???? What kind of delusional quailtard are you?? And how stupid do you think everyone else is??
qwerty what the fuck are you and T and matt all the same person? go get laid somewhere .
Uh… ok then. Repeat what I just said. Weirdo.Why are you even here. Nobody talks to you except to say how annoying you are, and you pollute this place with your nonsensical posts and identities that EVERYONE KNOWS ARE THE SAME PERSON.Truly laughable.PS I can’t stress enough that EVERONE KNOWS that when you log in using another name it’s STILL YOU.
qwerty i’m not here to make friends. i will continue to post and express my fucking opinon without being harassed by you or matt or whomever. it’s my fucking right, or is freedom of speech actually restricted to morons like you and matt? i don’t give a fucking shit if no one speaks to me really. you just continue to show your fucking childishness when you and matt continue to attack me for no good fucking reason. so if you get your fucking jollies out of harassing me then go ahead i don’t care, but I will continue to use this forum. you will NOT intimidate me no one will. so go ahead make a fool out of yourself and matt too. i’ve learned a long time ago if you accuse someone of doing something then you must be doing it yourself eh? multiple nics must be your game too then seeing how you pick up on it so easily. so go ahead play your game i won’t respond as it fuels you. this is my last response to you and to matt. i will sit back and laugh at you all making comments that have no bearing on the posts, just comments to attack me. so go ahead make it worth your while, give me a good fucking laugh. i’m not here to make friends so i don’t care if people talk to me or about me. go ahead childish fuckers.
Might I suggest that everyone who finds the contributions of a certain individual(s) irrelevant/childish/stupid/etc, simply skim over those comments and ignore them? It seems to me an awful lot of space is given over in this forum to telling a few(?) attention seekers to stfu. It also seems to me that this is giving him/her/them exactly what they want. Wouldn’t you get tired of poking the bear with a stick if the bear kept rolling over and going back to sleep?
Whay makes these coffee ‘baristas’ any more worthy of a tip than the poor folks serving me at McDonalds? I’d much rather serve lattes and cappucinos in a cozy little coffee shop than work the counter at a McDonalds! I tip in bars and restaurants because it’s a long standing tradition..not because I think these people work any harder than the rest of those un-tipped (and sometimes much harder) miminum wage jobs. Making cappucinos is ‘difficult’? Please..what a laugh!!!
Princess Bitch is the former Ginger. Just click on her avatar (sp?) – it says there is no user profile for Ginger…
Figures..one pathetic troll in the same.
Remember the episode of The Simpsons where Bart has a crush on the new girl in town? He’s prattling on about this and that, and she asks him, “Do you ever think something you don’t say?” (Or words to that effect.)Seems like too many frequent posters on this forum, especially one in particular (who seems to incite revulsion in a lot of people), feel it necessary to take whatever random thoughts wander through their minds and post them, even if the thoughts aren’t helpful or relevant.Perhaps they could pause for a moment, before hitting the “submit” button, and ask themselves whether they actually have anything useful to say. It is not necessary for them to add a comment to each and every posting, especially if many of those comments are entirely without content. Reading the posts of the person I alluded to above, I tend to think she has nothing useful to say, ever, about anything in this forum.
lmao Mortimer – well put… Well-placed references to brilliant cartoons rule.I especially like the ongoing “If you’re saying it about me, it must be true about you”… so I guess the only people who can solve crimes are criminals themselves, and so on.I did feel bad about responding to it, but I think so many people post in forums like this because they stifle themselves so often in daily life, it’s nice to not have to hold back (within reason) without fear of consequense. Maybe it keeps us all a little saner.(And this is kind of a shitty post anyway, so it’s not like something of quality is being tarnished by responding to Trolly Trollington.)
Be my guest 🙂
Also, in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams talked about an alien race that has to keep talking, non-stop, or their brains freeze up.Could be some frequent posters on this forum belong to that species? Sure would explain a lot….
