[Starbucks Gossip] We are not your friends. We are usually not your neighbors. In most cases, we absolutely loathe you, but we are outwardly friendly — because we are paid to do so. You are not getting special treatment, and we really don‚Äôt give a shit about your last vacation or your new baby or your real estate problems. We ask how you‚Äôre doing because it‚Äôs a way of making conversation, and we are pressured to make conversation in this line of work. Now, there are some customers who are genuinely liked, but they‚Äôre few and far between. If you have to think about it, you‚Äôre probably not one of them.

Whoa! That’s one angry barista posting up on Craigslist. No idea if this person really was a Starbucks employee or not, but the post makes for an amusing read.
