Baristas are familiar with coffee culture, proficient in the production methods and techniques of various drinks, and specialize in making coffee drinks to meet customers' demand for caffeine and delicacy. But sometimes, the demands and attitudes of some customers are quite impolite to baristas.

No offense to God, but the following situations do require your help, and should be avoided when buying coffee in a coffee shop:

1. Yell at drinks that don't belong to you

This side has just finished placing an order at the cashier counter, and there is a loud urge at the pick-up counter: is my coffee not ready yet? Hey? Why didn't you ice it for me (de-cream)?

Calm down! Calm down! That may not be your order yet! Please don't rush to criticize the barista before confirming that your order is wrong.

Modern people's time is precious, but the trouble is to wait a moment after placing an order. Delicious food takes a lot of time to prepare, and freshly brewed coffee is the best, isn't it?

2. Order while talking on the phone

It's really helpless to order coffee while talking on the phone. In the case of normal communication, it will not only reduce the efficiency of ordering, but also lead to higher probability of order errors.

Try to think of others. It would be embarrassing for anyone to talk to you while talking on the phone, right?

3. Forget to pick up the order while playing with the phone

Modern people are really inseparable from their mobile phones for a moment. After ordering and paying, many people will stand at the pick-up counter (or sit on their seats), brushing their phones while waiting for products. But sometimes I am fascinated by playing, and it often takes a long time to remember that I haven't got my coffee yet.

Don't look up and look around, that cup of coffee has been in front of you for a long time and is getting cold.

4. Throw your money (or membership card) on the counter

Don't think it's incredible, these daily civilized etiquette education has a long way to go.

I believe no one in this room will feel how happy it is to be hit by the money of a cup of coffee, and the posture of throwing that little change is not necessarily so chic and beautiful!

5. Mess up the furnishings on the counter

Let the gadgets stay where they are and finish their task. Whether it is a scanner or a fortune cat, these furnishings had better not be touched at will.

Maybe some of them are fengshui or fragile high-tech products? Even if you encounter something very new and lovely, at least ask the store owner and get permission to play with it again.

Professional coffee shops have very strict rules on the display of objects on the counter, so there is no need for us to make a mess for others.

6. Order by guessing riddles

Example 1:

A: I'll have a milk coffee

Hello! How about a latte for milk coffee?

-- (shaking his head)

-- Um. Or try a cappuccino?

-- (shaking his head)

-- that. What kind of milk coffee do you usually drink?

I don't know, it's just coffee with milk!

--.

Example 2:

A: I'll have a hot American

-- Yes, sir! A large cup?

-- No

How about a medium cup?

-- No

OK, a small cup of hot American style?

The gaze from the soul.

7. Self-help upgrade drinks

There will be some clever ordering tutorials on the Internet, such as teaching you to go to a coffee shop to order a cup of Espresso, then ask for a large cup, and then go to the seasoning counter to add water, cream balls, sugar bags and cocoa powder.

I advise you not to learn. To put it this way, the difference between the price of a cup of Espresso and the price of a latte is only ten or eight yuan, which should not be able to buy your sense of shame.

8. Answer "yes" to "hot or ice"?

For baristas' multiple choice questions such as "hot or cold" and "large or medium", don't take it as a yes-or-no question, just answer "good or bad".

This kind of misunderstanding is usually made only by people who are hard of hearing. If you don't want to get an undesirable cup of coffee, you'd better not be distracted when ordering.

9. Question the menu of the coffee shop

One of the most embarrassing things for baristas is to be questioned by customers about the items or prices of the menu in public.

"Why do you have Frappuccino in Xingxg? "

"Why do other families sell it for 18 yuan and you want to sell it for 30 yuan? "

"it's not a fake that your rose summer is sold so cheaply, is it? "

……

How can you answer such a question politely and awkwardly?

A mermaid is a mermaid, and a little blue cup is a small blue cup. Different coffee shops naturally have different value positioning and quality requirements. How can the items and prices of coffee be the same all over the world? If you have a problem with the quality or price of the coffee shop, you might as well compare other brands at any time. The coffee shop opens the door to do business and buys and sells it. No one will force you to drink expensive and bad coffee, will it?

Because of their love and acquaintance with coffee, baristas not only work hard to learn knowledge and skills, devote themselves to creating the perfect coffee in mind, but also take into account the cleanliness and other chores of the store. They are neatly dressed on the surface, but there is a lot of bitterness behind them. In the face of such a group of lovely baristas, you might as well be more patient and tolerant, and in the end, there will be that delicious cup of coffee and the sweet smile behind you.
