Today was a pretty good day...ignoring the baby barista, who I mentioned in yesterday's entry, who just annoys and frustrates me to my very last nerve.
Ergh.
Tomorrow is my day off! I am so happy for this! Whee!
The best part of my day is when I can do something little for a customer. Yesterday, a man didn't have enough for a grande iced mocha, but he did have enough for a grande iced latte. I made him the mocha anyway, for not getting angry at me about the price as SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE DO.
Today, I gave a regular a grande coffee instead of a tall. He comes in a lot, and looks like he has a lot of trouble...exhaustion lines on his face, sunburned, bad skin, dusty clothes. I have the vibe that he's either homeless or "just" impoverished. He only ever gets coffee, except when he has a treat receipt, then he can afford something a little nicer, like a frappuccino. He's always very polite and nice to me, and I worry for him, so I try and "supersize" when I can to brighten his day.
For the most part I "reward" people for not being angry, not being jerks, or not giving me attitude when other people readily will. Call it a Good Human reward. :)
Off to food!
