Having a Job as a Barista

Ever since I was little I have always had the urge to work. I never liked doing chores around the house but I love babysitting, hauling wood, yard work, or anything that pays really. To me it’s like a motivation when people work for something that they want. I am kind of like a perfectionist when it comes to doing a job correctly. I have had a couple jobs in my life so far. I would like a job as a barista because I like to interact with people.

A barista is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. A barista probably works in a small shack near the side of the highway, either on peoples’ way out of a place or coming into a place. Or a barista could work in a big coffee shop, somewhere in town normally. Baristas operate four different types of commercial espresso machines: manual, semi automatic, automatic, or super automatic. The role of a barista is to have enough knowledge of the entire process of coffee to effectively prepare a desired cup of coffee.

I was inspired to be a barista by Taylor Weisz. Anytime I would go to the Java I would see how much fun she was having, serving drinks and food to people. She was always happy and having fun with what she was doing. She gave me a lot of criticism about how to make things correctly. Ever since I saw her having fun as a barista, I wanted that job.
