I am a barista at a café. No, we are not Starbucks, but we do serve Starbucks.
Regardless, I am still qualified to tell you what your drink order means about you.
1. Americano
You are a bad*ss bitch. You get things done right, and you get it done on time. You pulled plenty of all-nighters in school, and you probably go to the gym regularly. Your order is hardcore -- just like you.
2. Iced Caramel Macchiato
You appreciate the finer things in life. You are ready to face the day with your optimism and diversity. You are a leader, but know when it's time to be quiet and let someone else lead.
3. Mocha
You are warm and sweet. You are always friendly to the person taking your order and to everyone else you deal with that day...even when some of those people test your patience.
4. Coffee-Based Blended Drink
You are a personified mullet. Not that you are the epitome of a bad idea, but that you are all about business at work, but you still find a way to have a good time. You do what you love -- you just need to get through your shift.
5. Iced Chai Tea Latte
You are experienced and love adventure, but eventually, you need to settle down and recharge. You find comfort in the small, consistent things in your life. (Pro tip: Order this drink with soy milk and a shot of espresso.)
6. Black Coffee
You are a coffee shop regular. Your drink may be uncomplicated, but you are far from boring. You are interesting. You are probably an entrepreneur and a blog writer. Bring your laptop to the café and write and create.
7. Cream-Based Frap
You don't care much for coffee, but you still appreciate the café environment. You are less of a leader, more of a follower, and that's OK. We can't all be leaders. For example: Donald J. Trump...
8. Hot Tea
You are interested in different cultures and have strong views on the world. You are strong-minded, and you will not listen to just anyone. You have a soft side that your close friends and family can see, but there's a few layers to protect yourself from the world.
There are an infinite number of drinks you can get. Come see me at the Barnes & Noble Café or see the other baristas anywhere else. Be nice to them, be patient and don't forget to tip. Making drinks isn't easy, but we love what we do.
