I am sorry, but NONE of you know what really goes on with JORGE! thats right, you didn't even know how to spell his name. First of all, he is NOT disabled, yes he was in the Navy (he says he was anyway) He NEVER went to war! He gives his discount to too many people, the only reason he made his boyfriend pay at all is because the Manager was there. Jorge, yes I'll say it because he was caught red handed, STOLE the Baristas tips numerous times. He NEVER made drinks or production correctly. Do you know how many times a certain person I know told him to put dairy back in the refridgerator and he STILL left DAIRY PRODUCTS OUT! He's such a good friend to all of you, but he didn't care if he made you sick or ruined your drinks or held you up because he felt like yelling at a customer or another Barista for no reason! AN Assistant Manager should not steal from his company and workers, he should make all the drinks and production correctly if he's been there for so long, he should not EVER yell at a customer OR a Barista and if he does have a "disscussion" with a Barista it should NOT be in front of customers. On numerous occasions he has made other partners so upset they would leave in the middle of there shift. Jorge is a COMPULSIVE LIAR! He is the only person I have ever met that truly deserves this title. I don't believe a word he says. Jorge was NEVER an asset to Starbucks and I am sure all the kind, hard-working, HONEST, and CARING Baristas are now offended by the assumption that Jorge was ANYONE's favorite Barista, considering all he knew how to do correctly was run his mouth. Now I'm done running mine.
I think the term "Barista" is ghey.

How do you know for sure? I know plenty of folks who were retired from the service with a disability and collect a tax free check each month because of it. You would not know any of them are disabled. They don't walk with a limp or have any limbs missing, but they are disabled in other, not-so-obvious ways,
I know for sure, but you know what, Jorge seems to have already spread so many lies that you people are never going to believe anything else. This is the only reason, in my opinion, he was there for so long in the first place. Everyone would think its because of his sexual preference when you should damn well know its not the case. and if you dont know that then your just sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. I posted a message with the facts because I don't want my friend (who liked Jorge as a person by the way even knowing he wasn't good for the company) to have to deal with a protest outside her workplace. Anyone who joined a protest either doesn't know the facts or chooses to ignore them. Those Barista's haven't exactly had it easy either with all this that has been going on (regulars, you know what I mean) and they DON'T need a whole bunch of idiots in front of their store.

If you make minimum wage for making coffe, even if it has some schmantsy name like "mocha half caf double decaf caf and a half-grande" You do not deserve to have a fancy schmantsy title like "Barista". Hell Mr. Coffe is just a "Mister" and he can make 12 cups at a time and have it waiting for you when you get up, no line. :shrug:

:yeahthat: and WTH is it anyway. It doesn't have a listing on dictionary.com.:confused:


Since approximately 1990, the term barista (the Italian word for bartender - masculine or feminine; plural: baristi) has been used in English to denote a professional maker of espresso coffee beverages. Prior to that time, the less elegant prevailing term was "espresso puller." The shift of terminology probably comes, at least in part, from the fact that most espresso machines manufactured since the 1980s no longer require pulling down on a big handle.

Many makers of espresso machines offer barista training, most courses taking from one to three days.

A "barista" is the official title of a Starbucks employee who has passed training and a basic test.
