the only thing better than working at starbucks is working at starbucks in the fall. i love it here. i've been at our store for about 4 months, just long enough to kinda know two thirds of my customers. (that doesn't include the large number that i didn't already know - gresham is a small world.)
there's the cool, slightly hippyish guy who gets a decaf mocha - he repairs old vws for a living. how cool is that? and little kaylie who spends a lot of time with her grandma at the dog grooming place next door. iced venti decaf no foam no whip no espresso americano (i.e. ice water) and a big smile. and chuck, who comes in every morning at 5:30 and wakes us up very effectively.
i even like the cleaning, and the dusting. there's something so refreshing about leaving my computer screen-dominated home businesses and living in the moment for a while.
plus, i steam up a mean foam.
