i work as a barista.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A barista (; ; from the Italian for \"bartender\") is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. The word \"barista\" is an Italian word, and in Italy, a barista is a male or female \"bartender\", who typically works behind a counter, serving hot drinks (such as espresso), cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks. The native plural in English is \"baristas\", while in Italian the plural is \"baristi\" for masculine (\"baristi\": \"barmen\", \"bartenders\") or \"bariste\" for feminine (bariste: \"barmaids\"). While the title is not regulated, most coffee shops use the title to describe the preparer of coffee and operator of an espresso machine. Baristas generally operate a commercial espresso machine, and their role is preparing and pulling the shot; the degree to which this is automated or done manually varies significantly, ranging from push-button operation to an involved manual process. Espresso is a notoriously finicky beverage, and good manual espresso making is considered a skilled task. Further, preparation of other beverages, particularly milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes, but also non-espresso coffee such as drip or press pot, requires additional work and skill for effective frothing, pouring and most often latte art.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Have you ever been a barista before?
