barista

If you've ever worked in a customer service position, then you've guaranteed encountered your fair share of Karens and other horrible, entitled customers who make your job a lot harder than it needs to be. We're not going to stereotype generations here, but as proven by the memes you're about to see it's the Baby Boomers who are always the worst. Sorry, not sorry.

Labor Day is almost here, and you know what that means...working overtime if you're a customer service employee! No matter if you're a bartender, waiter, barista or retail worker, you know the struggle of working extra hard on a holiday where you're supposed to be relaxing. The grind is REAL, friends.

People love to hate on Starbucks, and we can kind of see why. Apart from having mediocre coffee, Starbucks has become closely associated with absurdly fancy latte drinks that would make any Italian cry and, of course, the basic white girl who has to Instagram every single drink she gets.

Attention baristas: this is a safe space for you. What do we mean by that, you ask? We mean that you're free to take off that fake happy mask here, because we understand how awful it is to feign sugary-sweetness all damn day. You're free to be your unapologetic self, no questions asked.

Most of us have had to work terrible customer service jobs at some point just to make ends meet. These jobs are too often underappreciated and can really humble you - whether you like it or not. You've got to deal with awful customers, terrible pay, and doing jobs you really don't want to do.

So here's to you, customer service workers! Just know that we appreciate all you do!

This is a prime example of why you've always gotta be careful with what you put on the internet. Granted, tweeting about spitting in someone's beverage is a pretty damn surefire way of taking the shortcut to the unemployment bench.
