Baristas and ex-baristas, have you ever crushed on a regular customer?

[thatshydork]

Just asking this as a sort of food-for-thought thing.

Yes

No

I’ve crushed on baristas, and flirted back and forth, but never worked up the courage to ask one. I figure- it’s a high stress job and their tips rely on being extremely friendly. Not worth having to find a new coffee shop because you embarrassed yourself.

Goes for any place, any time indeed. That's why dating sites and dating apps were invented. Unwelcomed flirts have been relegated to the past, and I don't mind this new world, whether it's woke or not, I like this new world. 🥳

[havingfun2023]

Your answer is very awesome and hooray for dating sites and apps. Or if people still have their friends match make their friends of friends, lol. Cya happily 😁👋🏻

Yes it was one of the reasons why I knew I had to find a real job. A barista is basically a fancy title for coffee server, at least in Italian or spainish it means bartender and a bartender is two steps above a barista.

And like how many jobs are replicated or duplicated. Like fast food being a poorer person's version of a proper fine dining. 😬👌🏻😄 they're both fine to exist, yet there's a clear differençe and distinction made for co-existence. Anyways, were you as a male picked up on often by women customers? Or even the odd guy now and then either? 😁

[havingfun2023]

Because as you may know, the women get hit on so often in service jobs, yikes 😬 I mean, I'd feel bad for them, like as their boyfriend if I knew my girlfriend worked a job she got picked up on every third male customer, I'd be like, uhhh, that's uhh, awkward. 😁😬

@havingfun2023 I was the best at my job but my female colleagues made more on tips especially the ones with big tits. I used to get picked up as a barita by married women or occasionally a younger barista. I did better as a bartender, more tips more women.

[havingfun2023]

Oh goodness 😳🙄 I wasn't expecting that answer at all, in a nice way and not offended, only taken aback by your wordings, wow. Sounds like something I'd bluntly say, if I also was anonymous, I can be quite a plain speaker, unlike those who are "unkind plain speakers" lol. Mmm. 😞 anyways if I can ask since it was brought up, did you mean one of your barista's tried to ask you out? I take it that was or wasn't one of those with the uhh, big features then was it? Anyways, I for one could never handle jobs with pressure and impatient people. Makes me feel better all these years later, as I hope it does somewhat to you too having "been through the battles" that many customers, are very mean, and some higher-up's, aren't too sympathetic because "nothing ever changes" if you think about customer's patience levels, society patience levels. Lol. It's a whole constant "why why why" and how things would be nicer if "if if if" you know. That's why I'm not in a service job anymore or if I'm currently in a technical service job, I hope it's my last job involving 'service" without me being homeless, in jail, or unwell, so that's my babbling comment. Lol. Though i do hope your jobs didn't wear you down or put you off working in those fields. Some customers a joy to serve, though too few. And then the ones who were just suck-up's, until the day the order was ever wrong, scary scary 😮 shouty. Anyways 😁😄 piece of cake 🍰 jobs. Not at all lol, so anyways, I'll have to be selective in my future careers still to come 🫴

[havingfun2023]

Apologies, Opinion Owner, I got carried away with my own babblings and my own baggage lol. Service jobs, yikes. I try not to let the baggage carry with me. I did learn valuable 'life skills' from every job like that, though, and I've churned through several from 19 to 29 so far. Anyways, onto the 30s I go or we go lol 😂

[havingfun2023]

Anyways, have a nicer day, nice to hear you scored some women and a separately nice paying salary job, cya 😁👋🏻

[havingfun2023]

Along the way. Peace ✌🏻👀☮️

@havingfun2023 I did date one for a while but I guess she decided that she wanted more than a barista. The guy she got with after me had a porche.

[Kelly6]

yes happens a lot of time,

and it's normal

[Kelly6]

when i get crush on regular customer , i try to flirt hehe

[Kelly6]

did it happen to you?

[thatshydork]

I’ve never been a barista, I just wanted to know if this happens

[Kelly6]

oh ok

[havingfun2023]

Probably more likely the customers crush repeatedly on Batista's. And likely unwelcomed and would prefer things kept professional.
Not that I would know 🤨

[BuckCannon]

I tried, but she ended up being a tranny. lol

[robocop666]

I had a few crush on me though

[LavLavLuv]

Nope
