I’m sick of the word “barista”, and of the pretentious coffeehouses that insist on using it.

Point of interest: the people who read this passive-aggressive note are the same people you are trying to get to buy coffee, thus fueling your paycheck. Try not to insult them.

I do understand her pain a bit, though; I get tired of my sort-of friends congratulating themselves for managing to smoke pot or do shrooms in the bathroom of the local Starbucks. Nobody’s impressed, guys.

Where did you get the peanuts and corn from?

Oh my.

The words “barista” and “cleans this bathroom” should never, EVER appear in the same sentence.

Go Team Peet’s Coffee. I’ll never think of Tully’s quite the same way again.

But… but there is a pronoun antecedent mismatch.

That would work if the Seattle PD actually arrested people for shooting up in public restrooms. They just issue a trespass on the junkie, telling them they can’t come back for x amount of time, and then they’re on their way.

Oh, this is so true. I love this note. When I lived in Seattle I worked at Starbucks and I often had “bathroom duty”. Bathroom duty included finding many a heroin needle. The fact that our bathroom had coded locks (so we could screen junkies) still didn’t prevent the problem.
The thing this barista doesn’t realize is that the junkies don’t buy coffee. They just ask for a water and then dump half of it out and try and fill the cup up with half and half and Sugar in the Raw.

Wait, so the barista cleans the bathroom AND mixes my drinks?!

Eeeeeew, I’m drinking at home from now on.

Yes, I saw when I got down there. It was only a few minutes before me, but it took me a little while to read down. Sorry.
