Why are Starbucks baristas so damn happy? I'm glad there are people in the world that are happy but at 8AM some of these girls are so damn chipper that I question whether Starbucks puts anti-depressants in the coffee so that the free coffee perk for employees ensures overly happy workers.
"Hi! How are you today!"
"Horrible, thanks for asking."
"Aww let's see if we can change that!"
Yes you can change that. Either give me some of your happy pills or get me the girl on her period upset over the breakup she went through last night and let her take my order. She's perfect for me at 8AM.
^^^YES! She's perfect!!!
I've even asked, "Do any of y'all ever have a bad day? I mean, I've been on Glassdoor so I know it's not the pay."
It was immediately met with nervous laughter and,
"What can I get started for you?"
Sometimes I notice when I'm serious people think I'm joking. It made me wonder more. It's like she was thinking,
"Shhh, the Mermaid is watching and listening!"
I love the Mermaid's coffee even though she's a ram's head upside down (stupid Satanists) but, damn. I'm wondering what I'm really putting into my body. Seriously though, I want to light some of these girls' cars on fire just so they can have a bad day every now and then like the rest of us.

Java Coin? Is that a new Alt-Coin? Wow, can you imagine if Starbucks came out with their own currency? We're officially claiming intellectual property over this idea @iccoin

Sadly, hilarious!
I have never been inside of a Starbucks; unless, you consider those in the grocery store.
Before I ever knew of their dark side, I just couldn't square paying (every day) for a single cup of coffee, the same thing a 16-oz bag of coffee would net me.
I bought a frother, the little battery-operated gadget; and, honestly, can tell the 'faithful' it's a bunch of hype to pay $5 ? for something that costs .10 to make.
Just as the ridiculous monthly cost of an iPhone, pure waste.
I'm not addressing this to the elite; but, to the minimum-wagers trying to ball with their fancy cup and phone. FOLLY ;+)
Btw, you beat me to the punch with the free coffee. Of course, you know they get FREE bags of coffee of all flavors to bring home as rewards. So, if you're considering being a barista, this is one more perk.
One last thing, I do own a really cool Starbucks coffee cup that I found at a favorite thrift store for 99 cents.
Peace.

Haha. I drink the second cheapest drink they have which is ice coffee. I hate cold brew and I've tried to make my own ice coffee at home and it comes out too bitter. When I master the art, I'll never go there again.

I enjoy iced coffee occasionally. It's best to start with a freshly cleaned brewing reservoir to remove the bitter-tannin build-up from daily brewing.
When I make it, I start with a good flavored brand. I make a pot and pour into a glass jar with lid and let it cool on the counter a bit before placing in the fridge.
When completely cooled, and ready to serve, pour over ice with your favorite flavorings as needed.
You mentioned that your attempts made it too bitter. Perhaps you could tweak the amount of coffee you use, or add more water to dilute.
Peace.
