#4: a compliment

i just got the sweetest compliment from a customer!
I took a week off from my life and went to NY

apparently my fill-in for last week wasn't up to par...
customer: Yay! Its you! I'm so glad you're back!
me: did you miss me?!
customer: yes, the girl who made my chai tea last week was horrible!
it was the worst chai ever!

i thought it was so nice that the lady missed me
& felt bad that her chai was horrible
so i made her a free one!
(we're allowed to do that by the way...
if you spill your drink or its not good)

Barista Specials
if you've been to the coffee shop lately you might have noticed that theres a change in specials. Aside from the change of season, theres also a change in customer preferences. yes, you go can go starbucks and "customize" your coffee but at our shop we'll make whatever you want to try. For instance, one of our regulars comes in and gets a coffee made with cinnamon & toffee nut. Now we have a "Hot Austin" latte. We also have "Jessi tea" which is sweet tea with your choice of fruit flavor. One of the girls I work with & I came up with a "super fall chai" its delicious :)

what are some flavors you like? or would like to experiment with?

on thursday while i was working

a local boy pulled up to the coffee cart
on a lawn mower
& asked if i was going to see Vanilla Ice
on friday at the Hardware bar.

then my boss yelled at me for leaving the cart

incredibly messy all week.
I only work thursday nights..
