My boss and the other barista who's been here for about 3 years off and on, are both getting on my case because I adjusted the grinder to a finer grind because my shots were too fast (like <15 seconds fast).



Now, during our summer hours, I was the only barista here, so I had time to perfect MY technique, and I didn't have to worry about other people in my workstation. We also are a slow enough place that we only have one person on shift at a time.



Well, we're back to…

I find it so frustrating that my boss doesn't give two licks about this place.

I understand that his main business is his cabinets and the coffeeshop was just an after-thought to take up some extra space, but still. If I have to work for anyone, I want to work for someone who is just as enthusiastic about coffee as I am.

If the location of this place was better, I'd work out a deal with him to take over the shop with my husband, but I refuse to stay in Walla…
