So I'm back, y'all. Took some time off from this blog because my life pretty much exploded.
Last entry was July 3. It was a post about restaurant management and my crash course in how NOT to run a damn restaurant. And there are plenty of valid points in it. For instance, it still is a concern as to whether or not something passes snuff or not.
Well, from the time when running a restaurant was an interesting challenge to now, things have deteriorated significantly. The store manager, who was a former coworker of mine at a coffee shop, has decided that it's really not a good idea to look at how much money is coming in and going out of the store. Cheques started bouncing left, right and centre, and... I found I couldn't do it anymore. Not with him. Get someone else in the position? Sure. No problem. But him? No.
So I did what everyone else does, and applies to something they've done before. In my case, it's coffee shops. Good thing that my store manager's girlfriend happens to be a barista at a coffee shop a few doors down. Oh, whatever. It's Starbucks.
Can I say something about Starbucks? I think they are AWESOME. And I'm not saying that. Man oh man, they treat their staff so freakin' well. Not to mention all the community work and commitment to diversity and accessibility. I'm so excited to start there next week. I'm all gung ho. Love 'em.
Nothing else is coming to mind right now, beyond what I'm going to write in my very next post, so I'll cut this one short.
Yay!
