This anon gets it. I'm a 29 year old sperg who has been working full time in this industry for four years, now working in a shed of a cafe inside a train station making €0.90 above minimum wage. I left my job back in Vancouver making 17.50 as an assistant manager of another cafe, a job I loved, where my boss appreciated me, listened to me and let me deal with the roasters myself. I had developed a relationship with them where I could go down and shadow them, even arranging three weeks where I could be shown how to roast. People in my local community knew me and appreciated my my advice because they knew I wouldn't point them in the wrong direction for a few bucks.
Me and the girlfriend came home early because of the coof, so far I've had opportunity's to work in the health service, post office and retail management. I chose to work here, I chose to spend six months looking for a job in coffee because I love what I do, I kept my chin up even when the only results I could find for anything coffee related was "deli assistant" . I hate how plastic this industry is. I've had friends say to me you're finding it hard because you don't match the "style" of baristas in the city. I'm not hipster enough. How many of these cunts use a thermocouple to monitor temperature loss during brews at home? I'm not a qt scene girl or a plaid shirt, goatee sporting hipster, so I'm destined to be stuck in the fucking swamp that is retail coffee.
