siphersaysstuff:dollsahoy:kkkkai:saranae:theknowledgethebeastandinferno:This is a great movie.What I want to say EVERY SINGLE TIME. Baristas are paid minimum wage to follow their company’s policies. That includes using whatever terms their company decides on for branding purposes. If you want a frappuccino instead of a frappe, a large instead of a venti, or whatever other thing you wanna call your drink, that’s fine. Your barista? They are paid shitty wages and work shitty hours and have to deal with hundreds of people telling them medium instead of grande, or large instead of venti (which refers to the fact that it is, actually, 20 oz of liquid, meaning you’re being a jackass for no reason).Your barista isn’t stupid. They know what a fucking ‘large’ is and they know their store’s branding and slang sounds dumb to a lot of people. So how about, instead of being an asshole to a minimum wage worker, you consider why you keep buying $6 coffees instead of making that shit at home.I’ll say that one more time.Your barista is not stupid.They know what a large is, what a medium is, and what a small is.They also know they can be fired for not toeing the company line. And they can be fired for not standing there and taking the abuse you’re spewing at them.They are being paid to not fight back. They are being paid to stand there all day and translate medium to grande and venti and large and regular and all while you bitch about the specific words you “have” to use. They are being paid to be welcoming and friendly and nice to you while you call them stupid.Bitch, I know baristas with Ph.Ds, okay? Back the fuck off.Reblogging for commentary.The continued demonization of blue-collar, retail, food service, janitorial etc workers is one of the most infuriating things I can think of. Seriously, fuck you. Let’s see you live without these people doing these jobs. Let’s see you put up with this shit nonstop for eight hours a day, people treating you like subhuman shit.You are not too good for it, you smug ass. Odds are you’d break in a day or two trying to do this. -- source link
