Is it just me, or are Starbucks' employees freakishly happy and nice? Don't get me wrong. I appreciate this. I am delightfully surprised by this every time. And, it instantly puts me in a better mood. Is this subject covered in training? Does this 'How to be Excessively Happy and Kind 101' class exist? I'm starting to think this is a conspiracy..a secret that only Starbuck's employees have. Do they actually give them a pair of rose-colored glasses at graduation? Or maybe the management have their own freakish, happy-people recruiting skills? I think something is up, and I have to get to the bottom of it. I have daydreams of asking, "you know, I've noticed you are all really happy and nice. Sooo...what's going on back there?" I don't ask, because I'm sure that some Starbucks Secret Service, with shades and earpieces of course, would surround my car and create some kind of diversion. She's getting too close!
Aaaanyway...getting back to reality...
Today during my trip to Starbucks, it was raining. When I pulled up to the window, the Starbucks employee handed me my coffee with extra napkins to dry my car window that I had barely noticed was all drippy. Well, thank you, sir! After pulling away, I made a comment out loud, "Well, isn't he the nicest person on the planet." And from the backseat, an unimpressed reply.
"Yeah. We saw him yesterday."
Oh man. A reminder I go to Starbucks toooo much.
have you ever asked them for their left over grounds for your garden? i had great results last summer when i was religiously bringing home a ton of coffee grounds from sbucks at the end of each day and using them as fertilizer for corn and tomatoes.
