This could be the PERFECT part-time job. I'll learn to be a master barista and get to socialize with the cuties in the neighborhood to boot.

woot!


Cuties are good. I wish you all the best. hug

He taught me how to do this..




Anyway have fun, good luck. biggrin
Some people are like Slinkies...

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

It's a little independently owned coffee shop suppoerted solely by the people who live in the neighborhood. They also serve wine and beer and a bit more food than your typical coffee place. I know dealing with the public isn't always fun, but I know it's not gonna be that bad. lol



Sounds like a great job. Let me see if I'm translating this correctly....you will be working in an exclusive neighborhood as a quasi waitress at a coffee spot that's actually more like a diner (but a little more trendy) where people outside of the neighborhood do not frequent because they are probably not welcome?

:hmmm:

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

It's not all that trendy, and it's more coffee shop than diner, there's just more than pre-wrapped sandwiches nad muffins to eat. And all are welcome, I just can't imagine anyone traveling there just for some coffee. So it's quite localized.

In any case. My first night went well! woot! 3 hours of work and I made $11 in tips. Not bad. smile I made lattes and chais and cappucinos and served a few beers as well. woo-hoo.

They have cable readio. Or satelite radio. In any case I asked about it and they just told me that's what it was. I'm gonna ease my way up to seeing how to go about changing the stations. lol As it was, the music wasn't bad, though.

And I enjoy steaming milk, btw. The sounds is quite lovely.

Hey! Congrats!

yay!

I was trained to do coffee from this incredibly ancient machine at my last job. I loved it, but am now like a walking coffee critic - very annoying for loved ones.
