All types of customer service are not for the faint of heart, but being a barista seems to be one of the tougher positions in this category. Wrangling the general public before they've fed their caffeine addiction and making a load of different coffee orders correctly feels like a lot for minimum wage. It can lead to some uniquely frustrating situations when they're on the clock, as a TikTok by @i.maddyrae has made clear.
Revealing that she occasionally missed her former occupation as a barista, she shared some the customer interactions that she thought about to stop the feeling in its tracks. Countless others chimed in to agree with her on some of the dumbest and most annoying things that customers said to them when they were taking their order. Clearly the tacky old saying is true, and you really shouldn't speak to some people before they've had their coffee.
