Coffee Spills Are My Kryptonite

Hey there, fellow caffeine enthusiasts! I’m the barista at your favorite coffee shop. You know me as that smiling face behind the counter who tries to make every customer’s day a little brighter with a perfectly steamed latte. But here's my secret: when it comes to spilling hot coffee on myself, I am the clumsiest person you’d ever meet! It’s happened at least twice this week already, scalding steam and all. And yes, people have asked if it’s part of some sort of new barista training method that no one told them about. Is there a magical way to avoid getting burned (literally) while also being able to make coffee like a pro? I feel you out there, who hasn’t had the moment where your coffee cup tips just as you’re reaching for it, leaving you staring at those now wet socks and hoping the shop’s bathroom is close. Anyone have any tips on how to stay dry without sacrificing speed or quality of service? Let me know!
