Grande rant (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by x37_
I just finished my training on hot bar, boy do I have words to say abt my trainer, but that’s for a mother day. The shop I worked at before was a legit cafe with marzocco machines and legit steam wands. I wanted to make a latte on my 10 and attempted to hand steam the milk without the automatic thing. The wand, pitcher, and pressure are all WHACK compared to other machines so idk how some of y’all out here making art n shit when silky foam is a pipe dream and the espresso is helpless because you can’t dose it right. Anyways, loving coworkers except my trainer. Fuck you Kat, you don’t know what a macchiato was and when you told me to make an “espresso macchiato” and I gave you a shot with a dollop of foam on top, you said it needed half the cup of foam. Fuck off.

If you worked at a real restaurant with a French Brigade and left to work at McDonald’s you’d have a similar feeling.

For the steaming, in order to get a semi decent microfoam I usually have to adjust the pitcher since the wands immovable. I knew I was selling out getting into this but the pay and the benefits man... sometimes I get to have genuine conversations about traditional espresso beverages but it's very rare.
