Dear Readers -
I feel a proper introduction is in order. Call me Valentine. You'll probably come to know me better as The Disgruntled Barista. I've spent a good portion of my adult life working in a coffee shop, and with the public in general. In my line of work, there are always stories to tell. These stories will be presented in letter form - all the things I'd love to say to certain customers, but would face certain termination for doing so.
Before we get started, I do want to make clear that I am actually quite fond of the majority of my customers. Some people, however, have the uncanny ability to fuck up one's whole world - at least momentarily - in a matter of seconds. This blog is devoted to these particular customers. Some of these postings will be based on current happenings in my workplace; others are based on my experiences over the years. It's cathartic.
Most of these letters will simply be addressed, "Dear Customers". Occasionally, a letter will show up addressed to a particular person. Real names will not be used. Instead, I will choose a name that suits that particular person. This is for purposes of anonymity, as well as my own amusement.
So, here I am. Rock you like a hurricane.
Signed,
Your Disgruntled Barista.
