Week 1 at Starbucks

SO much has happened in one week I can't even cover it all I don't think! Overall, I am so glad to be working with the people that I do. You can tell all of them were hired for some reason. Can I just say that gays make your day better? Always? Of course, the two people I talk to really the most or I feel most comfortable around are leaving in a month. Sad!

So far I have learned the three basic drinks that all starbucks drinks are made of. All the drinks are made the same pretty much from those three drinks, just with different syrups it turns out. Lotsa sugar!!!

I got to do drive through today, so it got really, really crazy. A drink order got messed up (not sure whose fault it was, probably mine or someone else on register) but that held us back like 3 minutes in the drive through, and a customer actually started beeping their horn! It might've been two customers. I got scared, haha. It's just so stressful and there is so many things to remember. I feel slightly overwhelmed, however I am hoping it will become easier with time. I just don't know how much time I have to adjust... everyone is so knowledgeable and quick that I am having a hard time keeping up! haha. Oh well, ya live and you learn.

The hours have been kinda rough, I get up at 3:30. but hey I gotta do what I have to if I want to go to Italy this summer!

Anyway that's about it. I also make myself my own drinks at break, boy is that nice to customize it just the way I want!
