What Does it Take to be a Starbucks Barista?

Baristas are trained thoroughly at Starbucks. To earn this important title, every barista-in-training must first attend Starbucks Coffee School where the art of coffee preparation is mastered.

Umm... that's sorta true. In the end, we're still grunts. But since technically I do have skills that the common populace does not have, I guess I am a master of coffee preparation. I didn't learn it at "Coffee School" though, unless you call messing up dozens of drinks "Coffee School." :P
