Can I get a job at a coffee shop if I don't like coffee?

Question

okay so I met the owner today and he asked me if I myself liked coffee and I answered what came to mind I said," no but I guess it's because I haven't had a good cup yet" he said thta was a good answer but is he just being nice? did I just lose my chances of the job They also make smoothies I had tried their's and I told him those were excellant so did that save it for me? should I really be this way over a coffee shop job? but I really need this so I can move ....just need some advice

Answer 1

well if you don't like to drink coffee just brush up on "coffee Knowledge"

when they say which one do you like just tell them you are a purist ( drink plain ole coffee) or learn about 1 specific kind , and know a lot about it. maybe the most expensive one on the menu and tell them how worth it that it is..  Now if you don't like the smell of coffee that could be a problem, taste is one thing smell is totally another, I found you a bunch pf links for research ! enjoy

best of luck Janice

Answer 4

Yep, I was a Starbucks shift supervisor and I don't drink coffee. I knew how to make everything, but I know more about the tea's and Frappachinos. In Coffee shops the biggest thing is your personality, you have to be able to talk to anyone and everyone, about everything, while you are making the drink. If you have the out going personality then you should not have a problem.
