I’ve been a barista for 8 months, and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve worked on bar. Drive times are more important than training new baristas to be efficient in every position. They’ll come to regret it when they have a store full of green beans that don’t know how to do anything but CS, DT-both, and front of house.

Tell someone you want to do something else. Personally, I love CS, I can do any position but 99% of the time I choose CS because there's very few of us at our store who can properly do it efficiently. Maybe you're great at CS and thats awesome, I wouldn't feel too bad about it but I would definitely express that you'd like to try another position and that you're feeling burnt out on CS.

I get what you're saying that it feels like a janitor position, I usually call it a dishwasher lol, I didn't immediately like CS when I was new and I'd hate how i always had to take out the trash and such, but at the end of the day someone has to do it and it's more rewarding when your partners appreciate you

Edit: Also I'm surprised they put you on CS for being new because the new people at my store generally get put on DTO/DTW

They probably don't trust you fully on bar yet.

If you've only worked on bar a handful of times, I wouldn't be jumping to put you on there. Especially if you don't seem proficient at it.

Times are our entire existence as a barista it seems xx
