Interrupting baristas? (Tall rant)

Call me a negative nancy, but it really annoys me when I’m on bar, in the zone, and a customer comes up to ask for water, cups of ice, sugar, etc…

If you see me clearly busy making drinks, why not just go to the register and ask? (and before you start with the “Why would I wait in line for a cup of water?” ..in most cases at my store, there is no one in line at the register!)

I know it’s a small, irrelevant complaint, but I just genuinely don’t understand what makes you want to interrupt someone who is clearly busy for something you could have ordered at the register 😭 Leave me aloneeeeee! Go to the register!!! I’m not about to stop these 3 drinks I’m making to get you a cup of ice!
