The Multiple Personalities of Coffee [infographic]
Ohh, coffee drinkers. It’s amazing what people will go through
to get their daily dose of caffeine. I’ve worked as a barista on and off
for a few years now, and I couldn’t agree more with today’s infographic
on the categorization of coffee consumers.
We had our regulars at the cafe–The fake breasted soccer moms who
wanted their no fat, no foam, skinny vanilla lattes with exactly three
Equals and one Sweet and Low. Angsty middle school skateboarders, who
had nothing to do except order extra-large Caramel Frappuccinos, until
they were sick to their stomachs, and trash our coffee shop.
Fast-talking business guys, who could barely stop speaking long enough
to tell us their drink order, who also winked an uncomfortable amount.
Shy, bookish high school students, who didn’t care what was in their
coffee, just as long as they could hide out from their parents and
school for awhile.
And then there was my favorite: a tall, white-haired
old man, with a wizard’s beard, named Walt, who always ordered a decaf,
no-whip, mocha, and got so absorbed in whatever he brought to read that
day, that he’d frequently lose track of time, and exclaim, “You’re
closing already?!”
A comic collection of characters pass in and out of coffee shops
everyday, and the drink you order may say something about the kind of
person you are. But don’t take coffee so seriously! However you order
your cup of joe–personally, I like mine black–I think you will find that
it goes perfectly with today’s infographic. [Via]
