Reply to comment by ccanilao in Starbucks Barista in Texas, USA. AMA! by LuckyPotter777

I’ll answer it two ways: My least favorite day of the week to work is 100% Sundays, specifically from like 11-5ish. It’s like having another weekday morning rush, but six hours long.

My least favorite time/season is probably a tie between Fall (Pumpkin Spice Everything) and true winter (like January to early/mid March). It’s cold, and everyone is looking for a hot drink; everyone is mad because they’re cold, and won’t hesitate to tell you that they’ve been waiting for a long time or the drinks are bad.

Damn. Tbh, when I asked this question, I wasn't expecting someone to say something against pumpkin spice, I'd figured it would make the job easier considering almost everyone wants the same drink. I won't say I understand, since I've never been a barista, but, I will say I have much more respect for my local baristas. Especially on Sundays and during winter. Thanks for the insight.

Of course lol. It’s not that it’s the same drink over and over again, it’s the different varieties that it comes in. it’s like adding an extra six drinks to our mental list for only like 3 months, which is super annoying but seasonal changes keeps people coming back.
