as a veteran (ex-barista) i know how shitty you get treated for such low pay and how people throwing in an extra dollar or two for a tip does make a difference. i will forever be tapping 20% when the barista flips the screen around (or more even! depending)
in conclusion, baristas are doing the lord’s work… show some respect ‼️

I’m pretty proud of this cappuccino I poured but I’ve got nothing on a barista. Gives me so much respect and appreciation for people who have honed their craft!

🤓being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
