work in a coffee house

I think I would have liked it
better if it wasn’t starbucks.
they try to make you all fake-cheery
and perky. really annoying.
plus some customers were horrible.
The ones that were cool, and my
co-workers, made it a worthwhile experiendce.

As general factotum. It wasn’t a bad job and I wasn’t a bad worker or anything, but the coffee shop really wasn’t doing very well so the owner decided he could just get the people working the register to do all the stuff I had done.

I’d gotten the job through a friend of mine and she was their sole employee, and apparently it really was the case that they were on the verge of going under. My job there was to help clean up anything that spilled and to hand out coupons at a farmers market that was going on down the street. Worth doing for the time it happened.

I absolutely loved working in a coffee shop when I did that. Sometimes I wish I would just get out of the rat race and go work for Starbucks…from what I hear they have pretty good benefits anyways. One of my favorite things about the whole experience is that I am always the one friends have to make the coffee or the one people ask for advice on picking a particular blend; I also know how to make about every coffee drink there is so that means more fun for me :)

some of the coffeehouses in the area including Starbucks for a short time. This will kill three birds with one stone: my job is somewhat in limbo currently, I have stuff to get rid of at the flea market and on eBay, and it will knock something off my 43T.

to do this first, i think before actually jumping into owning one. But oh, the temptation. I mean, I truly envy the people that work at coffee houses. To earn my keep, I am a paper-pusher mostly and lots of deadlines and attitude to boot…stuff that does not get resolved easily and gets bigger..so what you make the wrong cappucino..it’s done and dealt with. yeah. Maybe I need a dose of reality, but I am gonna try it. Three Beans here I come.
