If You're A Bartender Or Barista, Tell Us Some Stereotypes That You Associate With Certain Drink Orders
Back when I was a barista, it was hard not to notice little patterns between what a person ordered and what type of person they were. For instance, people who ordered plain black coffee, for the most part, just didn't tip me. I have a theory that because I didn't have to use the big ol' espresso machine for this, they didn't think my effort (I still made the coffee) warranted a little something extra. But the jury's still out.

I worked in a relatively small cafe, so I bet people who serve hundreds of people a day have even more experience with guessing what type of person a customer is by their drink order. So, if you work or have worked as a barista, bartender, or any other customer-facing role where you served people beverages, I wanna hear your stories.
Maybe you're a bartender, and every time you hear someone order an IPA, you look up and, without fail, it's a bearded guy asking you how hoppy the drink is.

Or, maybe you're a barista at a local cafe, and ever since chain coffee places put "iced cappuccinos" — a drink you will never understand — on their menu, every time someone orders one, you kinda know you're getting overflow from the nearest chain. And you get yourself ready to receive some major pushback from the customer when they undoubtedly complain that their drink is a tepid mess.

Or, perhaps you work at a bar, and any time someone orders a glass of wine and you hear them say "give me a generous pour," your heart sinks a little because you know you're in for a difficult night with this customer.

Maybe you work at a very cool, very expensive juice bar, and every time someone orders the hot new drink that month, you know, without fail, you're gonna see that customer snap an aesthetic pic, MAYBE take one sip, and then proceed to throw the entire drink you just spent time making right in the trash.
