Had a meet and greet with a store manager. I did a coffee tasting, paring one coffee which had been designed for restaurant use with 3 food items, to simulate an appetizer, entree and dessert.

He not only hated most of the pairing because it was savory, but he didn't think that I had any passion for food or coffee.

Are you fucking serious?

While I didn't come to LA to shine as a Barista, I hate people thinking that I'm not excellent at my job.
