Nurse comes in with huge Starbucks order at closing. Pissed that it happens all the time...never a tip

I'm probably one of the friendliest baristas in town, but I was slightly pissed that the nurses waited until the last minute to order a few dozen drinks.

I was wiping down the only open espresso machine, because we have just a few minutes until closing. I look down for a second and out of nowhere, a smiling nurse walks in with her bag full of credit cards and the List of drinks.

She had more than a dozen drinks and every kind of milk in our fridge was requested. If most of the drinks are 2%, this drinks are made much faster, because you continue to steem the milk as espresso shots are pulling and then you start filling cups. When you have a variety of milks or milk substitutes, the drink making process slows down considerably.

I actually love making espresso drinks and am good at my job, but I get tired of the nurses coming in at the last minutes with a large list of drinks. The poor man who orders a tall coffee tips the change, but very few nurses tip, and when it's a big list of drinks, we never get a tip.

I hate being pissed, and I know I made more than a few nurses smile tonight. I imagine when they first taste their delicious hand crafted drinks made by @runridefly, and it puts them in a better place.

Customers always tell me how happy they are to see me working the bar, because I care about the quality of my work. I don't like how cheap some customers make me feel, because I am a master craftsman. Steem On Dudes.
