I'm a green bean, been on for about a month. I got the job because I discovered I like espresso a lot more than drip coffee, but as far as the language goes it's a real learning curve. I almost feel as though the "complicated" drinks are easier to make, because it's all right on the ticket. Then I get a regular grande flat white and can't remember if it's 2 or 3 pumps/2 or 3 shots. Once I get stuck on one if it's busy I start to fall apart. And don't even get me started on Fraps, I've already accepted defeat on those...

I'm pretty strong on everything so far, except for the bar. I feel like training just goes out the window as soon as I get even a little bit busy. When should I be expected to be able to handle a smaller rush without having to ask questions to confirm I'm doing things correct?

I just don't want to be that person who can't be put on bar because I don't have confidence that I'm making everything right.

Thanks in advance!
