This is my first entry, just to get a little bit started here. I am a new partner at Starbuck's. I am not yet prepared to say at which location I am employed, and I am not sure if I ever will, however, that is not important. You can imagine what I encounter at any location in America.
I am going to create a semi-daily account of interesting, and not-so-interesting experiences while a barista at Starbuck's. I have been employed for less than 2 months, and I am not fully Barista certified (I still must take the Starbuck's Experience course). I do, however, know how to make our drinks, and I do a damned good job!
I really do love my new job. The partners who I work with make the job fun, and the customers make it interesting! You get all kinds at my home store, since it is in a mall. We have our regulars who come in every day and get the same thing. There are the mall employees, and those who I think would rather LIVE in the mall, rather than simply shop there.
We serve lots of Frappucinos, which are no fun, but it's alright... That's why they call it work, right?
I guess that's all I have to say for today, I haven't really had the time to list any of my strange customers that came in today, but next time I work, I will sit down at my computer and write about all the crazy people in the mall!
Lovingly, and with lots of caffeine,
FTG
