Our whole first week of training is how to make your drinks, tasting the drinks to make sure they taste the way they are supposed to, etc. etc. etc. At the end of this week, believe me, we know how to make whatever it is that you are ordering.
Stop back seat barista-ing.
Have you ever actually been behind the bar? Have you ever actually tried to make multiple drinks at one time? Are you absolutely certain that the cup you are looking at in our hand is yours? (Look for upcoming post Make Sure You Pick Up Your Drink)
We know how to read the cups.
We know how to steam the milk.
We know the difference between decaf and regular espresso shots.
You are not somehow smarter than I am, you do not somehow know more than I do. The only people that have the same knowledge are other baristas. (Who, btw, need to shut up just as much as some of the normal customers.)
