‘One of my first jobs was a barista in a local coffee place. First day I was shown where ingredients were, asked if I knew how to make a latte, then left alone with no one else in the store for over four hours. I had no idea what to do. I didn’t know how to make any of their specialty drinks. I didn’t know how to prep any of their food.

‘I legitimately don’t remember how I got through those hours, I just recall being terrified the whole time. Walked out when the owner finally came back. Didn’t even want the money for those hours, I just wanted to go home and cry.’

‘Got hired at a coffee/cereal shop. (Yes, that was a thing).

‘I had three years experience with Starbucks, and two with a professional coffee maker in my city – He was 80 years old and roasted the beans in the front of the house so people could watch.

‘The cereal guy asked me to make him an espresso to “gauge my ability” and then when I was done, laughed, “Wow – I expected you to know more.”

‘Uh… Okay dude. Enjoy losing all your money over the next three months and closing.’
