The last job I had was my senior year of high school as a barista at Black Rock Coffee Bar. I decided to apply for the position because my two older sisters worked at the same coffee stand, and they loved their jobs. The job description called for excellent customer service, being able to memorize many drink recipes, and make quality drinks for customers. My experience matched the description closely, but it also called for a lot more than what the description entailed. Being a barista in a small coffee bar was harder than I expected. Working five to six hour shifts while standing the entire time was exhausting. I also worked in the summer, which are busier times for coffee bars in Oregon because of the nice weather. This meant that there were almost always long lines of cars, and we had to work very quickly but correctly. There hardly no room for error because if you mess up a drink, not only does it slow down the line because you have to remake it, but it also leads to customer dissatisfaction. So, the description did not make clear the true amount of work and energy needed for this job. Being a barista may look easy, but it was an extremely exhausting job for me.
