I've been working as a barista for over three years now and I absolutely love it. It's a great way to make some easy cash and my coworkers are the best. What's not the best, however, are the customers. It's not that I hate you, I hate the drinks you order. I don't mind making a frappuccino, but after making 12, you can get a little sick of it and you'll start to develop a deep seeded hate for them. Overall, from a barista's perspective, your order says a lot about you. A drink can hint at a person's personality; if they're picky, relaxed, or even annoying. Let's see what I think about you.

1. Black coffee (iced or hot)

You don't like to wait around, when you want something done, you get it done in the fastest and best way possible. You don't need any silly drinks to get you through the night and you scoff at anyone who buys a frappuccino. You're a no-nonsense type of guy/girl, therefore you like your coffee bitter and dark - just like your soul.

2. Coffee with milk and sugar (iced or hot)

You're a little less hardcore than your black coffee friends but you still don't need fancy drinks to get your caffeine levels up. You can handle the bitterness of plain coffee but you need a little help to do it. You're a nice person, usually sweet and peppy, just like how your coffee is.

3. Iced tea

You tend to sway towards the natural (especially true if you get a green tea). You love to be outside and to feel the sun on your skin. Coffee may be a bit too harsh for your stomach but a plain iced tea is perfect to mellow out your mood. You're probably wearing berks and friendship bracelets when you order iced tea.

4. Hot tea

Usually a professor, but can be a student. You probably are an English major or an English professor who is rushing to get to the library before all the seats are taken by kids who want a quiet place to sleep. You're a very calm, relaxed, and classy person. Your tortoiseshell glasses are cool too.

5. Caramel macchiato

Basic. You're a basic person. I make about 500 of these during a shift and you all look the same to me. People who buy caramel macchiatos like to have the best of both worlds. They want the caffeine from the espresso but need the added sweetness of the caramel. News flash: A caramel macchiato is an upside down vanilla latte with caramel drizzle. You guys make me roll my eyes.

6. Green tea lattes/frappuccinos

If you order this, I hate you. Well, I hate your drink order. But, if you ordered this, by the transitive property I guess I hate you too. Working with matcha is horrifying, it gets EVERYWHERE, you're stained green, and it tastes like crap. Stop ordering this. If you do order this, you probably have a vendetta against your barista or you're just extremely oblivious.

7. Any frappuccino

You're probably a super fun and happy person. I feel like people who buy frappuccinos are bubbly, nice, and not afraid to treat themselves in life. Although I hate making them, it's always so nice to see people's faces light up when I give them this drink.

8. Chai tea lattes

You are quirky and unique, just like the taste of chai. Simultaneously sweet and spicy, chai's are one of my favorite drinks at Starbucks. Plus they're one of the easiest drinks to make. Therefore, you are my favorite customer. I love you. Don't ever change.

9. Refreshers

You guys seem to pursue an active and healthy lifestyle. It's like mixing black coffee drinkers with iced tea drinkers; this customer is usually granolaish while simultaneously disciplined. I'd expect to also see you around Corner Juice or some yoga place.

10. The pink drink

Ya'll are crazy.

11. Cold Brew

You're too good for iced coffee. I like to imagine that all cold brew drinkers come from Massachusetts and have second homes in the Hamptons. Your refined taste buds can only handle the smooth, creamy taste of cold brew. Be careful not to spill any on your Lily Pulitzer bag.

12. Water

You guys are incredibly patient and kind. No one should wait in line for a free water, just come up to the barista and ask for one when they have the time - they'll gladly make one for you.

13. Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Personally, I hate PSLs, I think they're disgusting. BUT, I don't hate you for buying them. As a barista, when I see someone ordering a PSL, I usually think of them as someone who is excited for fall and loves to get into the spirit of Autumn. While it's a basic drink, I think that the people who order them are super cute.

14. Mochas

Personally, you guys seem to be some of the nicest customers. You all are kind and sweet people. If you order a mocha, I like to think that you're an adult but still a child at heart. I mean, who wouldn't love caffeinated chocolate milk?

15. If you buy anything from the fridge

OH, YOU DON'T THINK WE'RE GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE A DRINK FOR YOU? When a customer does this, I'm simultaneously angry and overjoyed. I'm happy I don't have to make a drink but I'm also offended that you don't want me to make your drink? This seems to be more of a complex I have to deal with myself.

16. Espresso

The scholar, the wise, the intellectual. If you order shots of espresso I'm going to assume that you're a genius who needs this caffeine to keep studying in their dark and romantic library room. You probably own an ornate rug too.

While most of these are based off of my own experiences as a barista, a drink still has a lot to say about the person buying it. I could be completely wrong in my biases and maybe you like to drink green tea lattes and are the nicest person, that's awesome, keep drinking them. Don't let what baristas think about you dictate what you get from Starbucks or any local coffee place you go to, we're usually just cranky that we're working. Although, I really do hate green tea lattes so please don't order them if you see me behind the bar.
