Hey friend, how about you try to have a little more empathy? Since you lurk on this sub so much, you ought to understand that baristas quite literally get abused and harassed by customers on a daily basis. We’re allowed to be upset that we’re expected to let people scream at us over a cup of coffee, all with a smile on our faces. We’re allowed to find fun in our days when so often we have to deal with people talking down to us and treating us like we’re less than human. This job can truly drain the life out of you, and for many of my fellow partners, they have no option but to stay. So maybe instead of reading a silly post about bacon egg bites and choosing to respond that we don’t deserve tips, how about you read the dozens of other threads about customers throwing scalding hot drinks at baristas, calling baristas racial slurs, stealing from our tip jars, and generally harassing us, and then reconsider your response? Times are hard right now with shortages, increasing turnover rates, “making the moment right,” and loosening COVID restrictions. Just have a little compassion. Thanks.

literally how was op being entitled tho. the customer ordered something in a really hilarious way and they’re just saying that they thought it was funny and people order stuff wrong all the time and sometimes they say ridiculous stuff. thats all, they didn’t complain about the job or the wage or anything. and fyi if you’ve been lurking here you should know baristas are NOT ever paid a decent wage <3 thats all thanks
