Imagine a barista with a pin that says "Here are some of the soft skills that this job demands and which I lack."

Yeah, this really is one of those things where if you're not okay with a little idle chatter, it's probably not the right job. And I say that out of admiration for baristas and other service workers. I tried working a service sector job when I was young and I didn't last long. I just wasn't any good at it.

I feel bad for folks who are introverted and not particularly strong. Almost every job with a low barrier to entry demands a lot of physical or emotional labour.

Why is the side that says "I want to be alone" red and the social side green though?

If I see anyone wearing this I will make it a mission to get it down to zero. Then I'll come up with efficient strategies to grind it down. I'll try and beat my new best time. I see this as a challenge.

But the best part is? Once it reaches zero, I leave them alone. Because I still respect them as a person

What if they're working, or have other obligations that require social battery charge? Your personal mission may have ruined their day.

semi-related but my economics teacher on the first day said "you can't offend me, I've been a national football/baseball/other sport coach for 20 years. I've been called every name in the book!"

3rd week of school as he was talking about how socialism is the devil, showing videos of cubas abandoned builds and stuff, I said "I did the math and you make 0.0006771% of what Jeff bezos makes in a year."

He admitted defeat but still didn't give me extra credit like he said he would as a joke :/

Joke's on you, I would slide it down all the way to zero as soon as I leave home

If you were given me that attention, my gauge would go green.

if you can't handle dealing with endless insufferable people and decided to sign up for a barista job, then that's definitely on you

Very classy, victim-blaming people that need to eat and pay rent.
