Coffee Shops: The Best Place To Work

Really, where othe than a coffee shop do you get paid, to talk to people and essentially hang out. If you're sleepy, you have an endless supply of coffee at your fingertips. I was soooo sleepy when i got to work today. I had all the lattees I could hold however, and all was well. Coffee is grande.

Coffee Addicts

One of our regular customers came in and purchased two venti mochas back to back both of which he drank. he comes in every week, and I always just assumed he was someone with a well paying job who could afford to spend $10 on coffee every week. I found out last night he is actually a Mconalds employee. Unless the golden arches have started paying well, it seems weird someone would pay $10 for a night of coffee. Its funny what little addictions and pleasures we have and what we are willing to pay for them.

Vanilla Soy Chai

I made a vanilla soy chai tonight, that is the best drink ever. Ever. Something about how the vanilla milk, syrup and the spcied tea go together makes me a very happy person.

I made a french press of arabian mocha sanani this afternoon. Even several pounds later, this coffee still blows me away. This is probably the of starbuck's blends ever. As if you couldnt guess by its exhobanat price tag. I work 7-11 tomorrow at the good ol sbux, hopefull fun and frivolity will ensue.

Sigh

I worked at 6 hour shift tonight at Starbucks, but it feels like it was MUCH longer. you wouldnt think making coffee would drain that much out of you, but it does. These guys who come in every week were there today (just like every sunday) Its nice to have regular customers. tehy're much nicer, and Ive started to learn how they all like their espresso drinks made which is fun.
