I have been working for a well-known coffee shop for about three years now. I know this business far too well, crafted way too many beverages, and trained too many hopeless high school grads. I dream of the day when I get to throw in the green apron and walk out of this hellhole. Now, I know I sound like a bitter employee, but trust me—I used to love my job. Sadly, this place reminds me that humans are indeed pieces of shit.
