WORD OF THE MONTH

Baristacrat -

 

A stuck-up coffeehouse customer whose intense orders and espresso demands create angst in employees and other customers.

 

Tom: Man, what happened? It took like 20 minutes to get your caramel mocha drink!

 

Tim: Tell me about it. This baristacrat in front of me wanted a tall, soy milk caffé latte with light foam and cinnamon shavings, and she had the under-staffed workers make the drink four different times because the drink had too much milk or too much cinnamon. It was ridiculous! Everyone in line was going ballistic!
