worksies.

Four things I'd like to change about my Starbucks:
1) RECYCLE!!! We throw away SO many cardboard boxes!
2) DONATE!!! I throw away SO many pastries at the end of the night! (Though, some of that is to blame on whoever does the food ordering at my place, I think) I usually take a sandwich or two home and some pastries. But tonight I threw away BOXES of unopened muffins. And took an entire bag of bagels home for myself. I just got some vegetable cream cheese and oh, it sounds delicious. :)
3) CLEAN! I've worked at two other locations in the past two weeks and realized my store is not so clean. It is partly due to the fact that we're busy busy busy. But, some people are just so careless! Come on. Spilled some frap base? wipe it up! There's a towel .5' away!
4) STOCK! Tonight there were about 5 things that we stumbled upon that we were OUT of. How come no one put it on the list to order when we started running low?! My shift supervisor and I were pretty unhappy.

I would add a 5th item to this list: change furniture/lay out. But we just did! It looks so good. Feels like a living room and actually gives that essence of a third...whatever starbucks wants starbucks to be. third place. work. home. starbucks. Shoot, it makes me want to hang out there.


Summer school will be starting soon. :(
Though I've been working most days, I am enjoying the free time. I think my friend Jeff and I went to Sea World four times in the past two weeks. There's not much else to do 'round these parts, I guess. Last night, though, we skipped out on Sea World and just watched their fireworks show from across the bay. Makes me excited for the 4th of July! ...But I don't know what to do yet. :/
