I am a huge supporter of that little cafe called Starbucks. Perhaps you have heard of one or two in or around your neighborhood! I was never a fan of coffee until I was introduced to the Venti Sugar-free Vanilla Breve Latte. It is a low carb, low cal hot cup of morning pick-me-up and I love it. Top it off with the fact that the Starbucks that I frequent on my way to work each morning knows me by name and I rarely ever have to tell them what my order is. Basically, I only have to tell the newbies of my Caffeine Crew.
My Caffeine Crew always puts cheer into my Morning Cranky Heart. They never fail to lift the spirits of this self-professed hater of the AM. And, this morning, they were unusually busy for that time. I walked in and, instead of getting right up to the register, I had to wait behind about 12 +/- people. But, they did a spectacular job of getting everyone out in a decent amount of time. All total, I think my visit was only around 10 minutes. Again, unusual but not at all frustrating. And, not only did they have to serve the people in the line inside in a timely manner but, they also had to serve the plethora of vehicles in the drive-thru. So, 10 minutes is barely a wait when you look at the big picture.
Props to Starbucks for the ability to hire the cheeriest, sweetest people. It is rare that I walk out their doors with no less than 4 personal good mornings. It is like my own personal Cheers in there. They compliment me on my clothes or my jewelry or they ask me how I am doing. They treat me like a friend in there. And, as a loyal visitor to their house for about 3 or 4 years, I appreciate all of the constant attentiveness that I get every day, no matter how very busy they are. Including today where I had 6 of the 7 people behind their counter greet me, compliment me and engage me in conversation...all while serving around 12 people in line in front of me, another 8 people who arrived behind me and the several other orders in the drive-thru!
Bravo to Starbucks and my Caffeine Crew!
