How many baristas does it take to pour an espresso shot? I don’t know, but this one better not be involved.

On January 13th, police were called to Harvest & Grounds, located in Concourse D of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, due to a “disturbance.” The disturbance was, according to Fox 5 Atlanta, a fight over espresso shots.



In a video of the fight, a woman can be seen demanding her “stuff” and throwing hands with another employee. It’s unclear what led to this, but by the time the video starts, the restaurant has cleared out and employees are taking turns trying to hold the woman back.



Again, the only thing Fox 5 Atlanta and other sources have said regarding a reason for this fight is “espresso shots.” I’ve spent a good 10 minutes pacing my apartment trying to figure out how anything related to espresso shots could lead to an all-out brawl, and I’ve got nothing. Maybe some people are just more passionate about coffee than I am.


Regardless, the woman in the video was fired, though sources say that no charges are being pressed against her at the moment. Let’s just hope she’s learned to handle her espresso shot arguments better — or at the very least, that she switched to decaf.
