Having finished my first six months at Starbucks (first review, first holiday season; etc.), I've been thinking about how many crazy or unique things suddenly are a "normal" part of life. So, A La Jeff Foxworthy, here are a few signs you might be a Starbucks Barista.
1. You hear alarms beeping wherever you go. You can't stop it, even in your sleep.
2. You get up in the dark, go to work in an office surrounded by windows, and never have time to see the sun rise.
3. you have "lunch" at 9:30am.
4. By 11am, it's time for your 2nd shower of the day (during the summer at least).
5. You fear the "ClOpe" (Close at 10:30 one night and Open at 5am the next morning).
6. The phone rings and you have to stop yourself from answering, "Thank you for choosing Starbucks...."
7. You know people more by their drinks than anything else.
8. Your most common phrase during a typical workday is "what size would you like?".
9. You dread serving other Baristas (they love the most complicated drink orders).
10. You smell like coffee all the time.
11. You spend more wash time on aprons than anything else.
and finally
You wear a LOT of black.
