Starbucks Experience
As much as we all love the bux...and as much time as we all spend there...I thought I'd share my experience from last night! I think you might enjoy!
I got there at 7:15 or so and then realized that they were doing the weekly coffee tasting. So I found the 1 chair that was left set my stuff down and went to order.
Since we are opening a few more bux in the area our store has become the training store. So, I'm getting used to the people at the register not REALLY knowing what they are doing...it's a good thing for the testing of the patience. Especially last night! Bless her heart, the poor girl couldn't get anyone's order right. Tyler was the shift manager and really the only one I recognized as a skilled barista. So he was going around fixing all the "messes" created by new girl.
It was finally my turn. I ordered a tall decaf pumpkin spice latte (not really a fan of the latte...sorry folks) and an oatmeal raison cookie. When I paid I thought boy oh boy that was a lot for a tall latte. Then, I saw her pick up the grande. After I reminded her of the size I orderded she had to get tyler over to the register to return it...but, he returned it in cash...so they had to buy it and return it again to my card. Needless to say the line behind me was growing! When I went to get my drink...she forgot to write the decaf part on my cup. So, Tyler (bless his heart) had to make another one. Then he had to remake the person's frap behind me, and another girls drink...because new girl (bless her heart) didn't know how to write drink orders on the cup. It's not new girls fault (I don't think)...she just needed more training before being put out on the register...or better yet ask the barista's around you if you wrote it right!
So once I got my drink the coffee tasting broke and people were EVERYWHERE...Old and young alike. LIttle girls chasing each other all over the store. I kept thinking...surely they will leave...it must be close to their bed time or something. But they didn't. Mom's and Dad's just kept walking around and talking while the caffiene laden 6 year olds ran around the store chasing each other. I got sick of waiting for them to leave and went outside.
Once I got outside I noticed 3 guys sitting around a table. One of the guys I met the night before...so I waved and sat down. I pulled out my bible and my study and started to work. Well, one guy (who I had never seen before) I'm guessing has a TOTAL dislike/hatred for Christians. And there I was in my Pre Cept shirt studying the bible making him mad. Before I knew it all kinds of stuff towards Christ, God, and Christians was flying out of his mouth. One of the last things I heard him say was "All the F-ing GD Christians just need to burn and fall in a river and drowned. After that he got up and went to his car...his friend said....yeah, one to many Margarita's for him tonight. I smiled and kept working. Then Stephen (the guy I had met the night before) came over to me and said Hey Brooke, I'm so sorry for what he is saying...he's really not my friend, I don't know him that well, and his is drunk...so, I'm sorry and left. When he left, Christian Hater came back and kept staring at me...so I looked at him and smiled a couple times...which I think made him even more mad. I noticed some lightening and then went BACK inside. :-)
As I was getting my stuff back out...GUESS WHO CAME INTO THE BUX! Just GUESS!!!
GARY!!!!!!!!!!! Yes fellow bloggers...Gary came to the bux!
So, needless to say...Starbucks was an exeperience last night!
