I had posted before my test shift and I just wanted to say I did get the job offer this morning. It feels nice (but weird) to get a job after looking for so long. Oh, and this Starbucks job was at the top of my list of the ones I applied for.
Now I just get to hope I stay on past the holidays.

I have a test shift (ODE?) at a Starbucks in Glasgow. I have to admit that this is the first service job I've had since moving to the UK and it makes it sort of extra intimidating somehow. Just for my general nerves, what exactly are they looking for? Just to make sure I'm not utter rubbish at this ( Read more... )

Yeah, if I lived in NYC I would totally abuse my shift powers and never clean the washrooms. Yuck

So far so good

If anyone remembers, I moved to a larger city and got hired at a company operated store from working at a LS Safeway Kiosk.

So what is your favorite uncommon drink? Lately, I feel like a lot of my partners have been getting Fraps with bananas blended in. My favorite shift has been getting a CAS with chai instead of CD. My favorite right now is a salted caramel con panna (literally 1 pumps Mocha 1 pump TN with the SCM toppings. IT'S AMAZING.) What are you liking these ( Read more... )
