Baristas can be true lifesavers—they make that delicious, sweet coffee that gets us through the day, they supply the masses with tasty shakes on a hot summer day, and basically provide a much-needed service that all of us have used at least once. But not all is good in barista land. For one, they belong to customer service, which comes with its own challenges that have long been documented. Another difficulty for baristas can be... their job as a whole.
A Twitter user who goes by human plushie (@INTERNETM1LF) started a viral thread where people posted the kind of ridiculous orders they've received from customers (and each one needs to be fulfilled—that's the service, after all). There's a whole plethora out there, and here are some of the more notable ones.

YEAH! That’s exactly what I was thinking, how do they come up with these? Are they ex employees who figured out a magic combo after hours? Do they have a syrup collection at home they experiment with to figure out a perfect pump to coffee ratio? Is it part of a math or science class somewhere? I didn’t even know you could ask for a specific amount of pumps of this or that.
