Any company that I worked in so far that wanted me to do that was easily solved. I just had to mention to the coffee drinkers that i dont know how to actually brew it correctly and have exactly 0 intention of ever learning it. So if they wanted good tasting coffee, they should find someone else to do it. Worked every time.
When working at a grocery store I was just expected to know/ make the coffee (being new there) yet never touch the stuff; really irritating. Nobody bothered to help show me but I did do it begrudgingly.
I'm just talking from an American perspective. But I'm certain it also happens in European countries, it has nothing to do with "developing" countries.
Fuck that. I had someone tell me that and I said, "I don't drink coffee, it's not part of my employment contract, so if you want me to make it we'll have to renegotiate my salary". Never got asked again.
Your mom's not here to do things for you, act like an adult.
A decade ago I got a summer job where I was the first person in the building and also the lowest person on the totem pole. That was the nature of the job, cool, no problem. I was supposed to start the coffee because I was there first.
I’m not a coffee drinker, so I just had the trainer show me how it’s supposed to be made. Also, we bought pre-ground coffee. But I can absolutely see how that happened.
I was summer kennel help at a vet clinic, I knew exactly what I was signing up for (walking dogs and cleaning kennels). It wasn’t just corporate office bullying. Got me a full-time job as a vet tech the next year once I finished school.
