//"Hello, please scan a code."
Except for a few fixed busy hours, other times are scattered and more leisure.
Read leisure books, watch dramas and serve walnuts.
Feeding the stray cat in front of the store and love birds, who is very close to his relatives, squatting at the door of the store and watching it eat and eat is a very calm and full sense of happiness.
I like to try cups every morning, practice washing hands and communicate with the talkative guests sitting at the bar.
I like to observe interesting people coming and going.
I like many beautiful and handsome human cubs who love to eat cocoa.
Read books when you are not busy.
Single break.
When the epidemic is not serious, I get up at eight to eat something and go swimming. I always come out for an hour and a half just to go to work.
Go home from work at night and do yoga.
Take a bath, eat and wash dishes. Go to the theatre, read books and watch movies together.
I will cook on the rest day. Two people wake up naturally, get up, climb a hill in the park and try skating. Have a drink and watch a movie the next day.
The object will bring a book to accompany the class without rest.
//"Do it full time."
I entered the university and started to get in touch with coffee. After mastering the basic skills, I gradually became dissatisfied and began to ponder for myself.
Later, I fell in love with a Japanese coffee shop, frequented it, gradually became friends with my boss, and then became his apprentice.
"You like it very much and have a good personality. I want to ask you ... Do you want to learn from me? "
After graduation, I worked in an Internet company for a month, and then I resigned and went home. Continuous public examinations. Family conflicts are serious. A nervous breakdown.
Back to the city where I went to college.
I found a job casually, and I didn't consume my body and mind. The salary was just enough to live. Weekday office, weekend coffee shop, after seven months of uninterrupted but very full and happy days, I made very good new friends and met very good lovers.
I have repeatedly hesitated and struggled, and I am very sure that I will not be a full-time barista, thinking that taking my hobby as a career will definitely consume my love for the thing itself. But the time came unexpectedly. I am a person who pursues stability. It's not easy to lie flat, just be self-consistent Anyway, professional skills will not disappear, and barista will not disappear in my decades of life.
Willing to work hard for this job, willing to soak in daily life and slowly practice skills, willing to take the trouble to spend time for it.
So I agreed to master's invitation.
//Open a warm shop?
Caution. You can try it from a part-time job. A barista doesn't just make coffee. Business and part-time job are completely different.
First of all, you have to distinguish whether you are going to a boutique coffee shop or a commercial/large chain coffee shop. The barista in commercial coffee shop has limited space to communicate with customers.
Boutique coffee shops are usually independent coffee shops. Full-time barista has trivial work and relatively high requirements for professional skills, and will have in-depth direct communication with guests.
To be honest, being a barista is not too difficult. The common operations of espresso extraction and flower-pulling are easy to master, but it takes a long time to accumulate the internalized understanding of coffee extraction, the practice of flavor discrimination, the adjustment of flavor and the ability to control flavor, and there is no quick success.
It is not difficult to repeat the same operation, but it is difficult to know why and have the ability to adjust the parameters to finally get a good cup of coffee.
Coffee, like pottery, carpentry, baker and gardener, needs to be brewed for several years. If you want to study, you just need patience and curiosity.
After really entering this industry, in fact, like other things, what path to choose is a matter of opinion, which is as people's respective needs and pursuits.
//"The flowers are full, the wine is full, and you are comfortable in the waves."
Separating what you like from what you want to do, and putting in corresponding feelings and energy, such as matching different boxes and positions for different objects when sorting and storing, is a process of constantly cultivating your heart and expanding your battery.
As far as I am concerned, any interaction with people will consume energy, and work will also consume energy. Being alone is an energetic way. However, if you make a choice, you have to bear the inevitable price for it. If you keep looking for and expanding ways to charge, reduce energy consumption and keep moving slowly on the undulating sea surface, you will be happy.
So I like it, like the people related to it, and like all the wonderful opportunities it brings me.
If people who read the passage really want to be baristas, I don't want to give clear advice. Everyone has his own situation and destiny, and you may not be able to do it if you want to. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing.
If you really choose this job, I hope everyone will cherish and respect every cup of coffee and respect every guest's experience.
This is a way for me to enjoy and love this job more and share it with you.
