[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four years ago was probably the lowest point of my life: I was getting divorced (and it was contentious), was midway through a demanding graduate program, despite working two jobs was flat broke, and generally felt intense pressure all around, with no relief in sight.

One of my jobs was working in a coffee shop, where my coworkers were all at least a decade younger than I was.  I felt like a loser and an outsider and wasn’t treated very nicely, in particular by one barista we’ll call Christy. I believe she got me fired from that job, which I really needed.

Well, in the years since, I have completed my graduate program, started a great new career, gotten remarried, bought a house, and had a baby (I am currently on maternity leave).  This morning I was walking with my baby and decided to pop in to a new coffee shop in my neighborhood.  Guess who’s still pouring coffee?  Christy.

Working at a coffee shop is morally neutral.  Thinking you're better than her because you do something "better" and she still pours coffee? Morally shitty. You lose, OP. [/quote]
Yup. I completely agree. [/quote]
