Adam won’t be at that job for long; he’ll probably quit by the end of the week. Hopefully, he’ll have greater respect for Andre for being able to cope with these @$$holes while keeping his sanity.
“A Cup of Coffee,” by Julian Moon is worth a listen for what baristas have to face. (Warning: GoComics censorbot would not allow the refrain to be posted.)
I make my own coffee at home, but once when doing some repair work at a starbucks, the manager was training a new hire. They had a fairly large binder they were going thru, and for some hours continued on with all the possible drinks man and womankind could dream up. Being within earshot, my head was spinning as I tried to make sense of everything. They were still hard at it after I left. You couldn’t pay me enough to be a barista!!

Pay attention to the Burger King model:
“Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce.
Special orders, don’t upset us.
All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!
Have it your way!”

Don’t mind Adam, it’s his first day … and possibly only day.

Sure. Why not. Make it a treble-quadruple whip because I’m paying for it. You win.

Maybe Adam doesn’t know how to make that. There are so many choices it must be difficult to learn how to make everything.

How about a cat-o’-nine-tails special.

There are some weird concoctions/requests for beverages out there.

If he liked coffee, he wouldn’t be in that dump.

Has anyone else noticed that Adam’s hand is reversed in the last panel?

It’s rare to see someone order just a cup of coffee at a Starbucks. Me, I’m guilty, I like chai latees.

Adam is not a baristas or writer for that matter!

Well we wondered what would be his downfall, now we know he doesn’t know the lingo.

Sounds like a cup of hot dessert for breakfast.

I love my coffee, black and hot. If I want a milkshake, I will order a milkshake from the ice cream parlor…….

I’ve been known to tease coworkers who are Charbucks fans. I ask the same question: have you ever tried coffee?

Seriously, not everything is an offense. I take it the customer must be a woke or BLM activist.

I can make coffee at home, the only reason to go to a coffee shop is for specialty beverages
aussie399 Premium Member 10 months ago
I wonder if those wokey w@nkers ever order anything that actually taste like coffee ( which I detest)?
