Why do coffee shop drive through baristas always give me the shite eyes?

Such attitude like they deserved a tip or something for doing their job. It’s always the same type too, short, often colored hair and slightly overweight.

Is it because she has a college degree or something that I am expected to bail her out on? This isn’t charity, so if you’re unhappy with your base pay, go find a real job. The market is the true determiner of your value and giving me the shite eyes for no tip ain’t going to change that honey.

Think I’ll just stick with coffee in a can going forward or whatever cheap alternative that shithead Babytac inevitably preaches when joining in on this thread.

Make your own coffee at home. Buy a cheap coffee pot for work space.

A little bit of effort won’t kill you.

Well you seem like an a-hole so I imagine it’s probably that

I’d wager you get a lot of “shite eyes” throughout the day and never really grasp why

I didn’t realize we had so many baristas on the OT, pardon me. But that would explain a lot.

Purple but he didn’t go to LSU and that triggers the barista that went to the local state school.

Because I have a doctorate in Feminine Studies and I'm smarter than you.

Curious how they would react if I gave them a wink and a wiggled my tongue ever so slightly before and after tip.

Like I could actually turn this into a weird social experiment and document here. But something tells me they’d tolerate it well before tips like the good little beggars they are.

I never buy drive thru coffee and prefer the taste of a slightly weakened espresso made at home and put in one of those pretentious insulated mugs.

It has become a ritual established for me.

Don’t look into the eyes of the disaffected and expect courtesy. The window through which they view the world is clouded with resentment and rage.

I don’t get the appeal for these7 Brew type places. When I want coffee I am not in the mood for loud music or small talk. Just give me my coffee and shut up.

Yeah and one barista had the nerve to ask me what kind of milk I wanted the day. She acted very confused when I said any milk, like she had a reboot or something and had trouble processing.

Probably should have said goat milk, but those little weirdos would probably have it.

Buy a burr grinder, buy bags of whole beans, grind your own daily. It's easy and not much more expensive than buying ground coffee and much, much cheaper than drive thru.
