....are exactly WHY we use "Starbucks barista" to mock the kiddies who gripe about how haaaaaard their lives are.

Yeah I have worked those jobs, hustling Pizza's on Friday Night ...
It's called "work", which is what the kiddies are complaining about.We all have. But it's not a "hard" job if some 15 year old can do it.
Delivered pizzas in Houston on Friday and Saturday nights. We went armed.

I've seen things, man.
Anyway, tip your housekeeping when you stay in a m/hotel. Those gals are unsung heroes.
My worst was working on the docks at an oyster farm. In the winter, getting soaked with ice cold salt water washing down the racks after unfreezing the pumps. In the heat of the summer, coated with anaerobic mud stinking to high heaven.The worst job I ever had was housekeeping at the Motel 6 when I was 14. People are disgusting pigs. I thought I'd like a cleaning job because I enjoy the instant gratification of it, but when you walk into a room where adults have stomped food into the carpet, blasted several dukes without flushing, and had their period all over the sheets and towels you get over it quick.

And I'd rather do that than what you just described..... :shudder:
I does seem like a thankless job though. During my last trip to San Diego, I was walking down to Pacific Beach on a Sunday morning around 11am. I stopped into a Better Buzz to get an Iced Coffee. I greeted the barista with a "Good morning" and placed my order for a small. When she rang my order up I noticed she handed me a large and still charged me for the small, so I mentioned it to her. She said that since she had started her shift that morning, I was the first person that greeted her instead of just barking my order at her. I thanked her and told her I wasn't from around there.But...but...being a Starbucks barista is haaaarrrrrd......
San Diegans, by and large, used to be some of the nicest people outside of Wisconsin. Sad.I does seem like a thankless job though.
