Thanks to The Supreme Crow for the suggestion

I am the person
who makes your stupidly expensive coffee drink. Excessively rude to me? Expect to get decaf, or skim/whole milk, etc. You wont get what you asked for, and you wont even notice the difference. Same goes for food that's a little too burnt or has fallen off the plate onto a worktop - back onto the plate it goes!

The vast majority of people are very very nice customers. But try to be nice to the coffee monkey, because he/she has all the power, not you, and who knows what you might get.

(Just in case some of you are wondering - I would never touch anybodys food without gloves, or put something nasty in someones drink, that's just wrong)

Caffine addicts..
Rude , inpatient, social functioning poor before they lay hands on their fix...

...they deserve a de-caf. They won't feel quite all right all day and they won't know why. Lovely.

Only those who treat the staff with disrespect of course, not those who are simply muddle-headed until the first cup.

This is probably why
I don't drink coffee, let alone pay someone to make it for me.

I have one overriding rule
That is to be adhered to over any other, and that is never to insult a person that is preparing food for you or about to cut your hair.

It's your job
In all fairness, if you feel that bad about your daily grind, perhaps some of your customers are just having a bad day, no need to spread the hate.

"Now, turn that frown upside-down"

Back to work, chop-chop!
