Today at work I was on bar, which means I'm the one making the drinks.  I'm still so slow at making these drinks.  We have molasses cookies in the pastry container and those cookies sometimes are a painful reminder of myself.  What I mean by this is, molasses is super slow when it flows and I am even slower at making drinks! 


If I have to make one drink at a time I am alright.  I can focus my brain on that one beverage and make it to perfection, or my idea of perfection.


The problem comes when I must steam nonfat milk to make a sugar free vanilla latte while also steaming soy for a triple ristretto latte.  Then while I'm trying to get all three shots in the cup I remember the nonfat latte is supposed to be done right now because old lady is pulled up at the window, she already paid and she has some meeting to be at that she's late for, so her patience is thinner than my beats used to sound a few months ago. 


Why she came through Starbucks when she was already late for her meeting, that is a question we may never know the answer to.  Hopefully she will think twice from now on.  But more than anything I want her to not have to think at all about it because I wanna be filthy on bar!  If I can just get filthy on bar than this problem will be solved. 


Unfortunately skills like this don't come without practice.  That is what I need, practice makes perfect and I strive to steam that flawless foam.  Please come by Starbucks and request that Taybot make your drink.  Order a difficult drink if you like, you can have 10 modifications on it for all I care, I need the the practice.
