People who work in cafes may not face the same issues as waiters from restaurants but they have their fair share of woes too. If you’ve worked at a café before, here are 8 shittiest shits you will know and understand.

Complaints about coffee that isn’t hot
The diners are busier than you. They’ll order a cup of coffee and go touring round the café to snap some photos, have a 1-hour heart to heart session before they finally take their first sip of coffee. And bam, here comes the complain that the coffee ain’t hot. #TrueStory

Ask for extra hot milk or water
Extra hot milk would mean burnt milk since most of the coffee and chocolate drinks are made with coffee machines. Hot water comes from the coffee machine as well, unless the guest can wait 10 minutes for boiling hot water.

Commenting that the food is overpriced
Let’s face it, café food is not cheap. The chefs and staff put in a lot of effort to make your plate of pancakes look Instagram-able. If you really mind paying that price for pancakes, you can try making it yourself at home.

Act like they’re above everyone
Everyone has their own preference for food, some like their steak well done or sugar in their coffee. Yet there are diners who behave like they’re above everyone just because they eat medium rare steaks or drink coffee without sugar.

Talk on their phones while ordering
We get it, you’re a big shot who is busy on the phone talking about your hangover from yesterday and stuff. Now pay attention to us while we repeat your orders instead of screaming at us when the wrong food comes along.

Ask for a Venti size Green Tea Latte
No, we’re really not Starbucks.

Help them take pictures to upload to Instagram
They need the mandatory shots of themselves outside the café door and stuff like that. So you’ll need to take some nice angled photos of them that are subjected to approval. And if it’s not nice, they’ll look at you like you owe them a living.

Telling you the drink wasn’t made correctly
They tell you the coffee wasn’t made correctly, but they reject your offer of bringing them a new cup of coffee.
