- Peter is simultaneously killing it in Seminary while also being killed by Greek...I think Fall Break is coming at just the right time.
- My last day at Starbucks was the day before my 4th wedding anniversary (Sept.27...woot)!
- I am now working it white collar...and (surprisingly) I am finding it pretty interesting. I'm so corporate now.
- We are meeting people and making friends--even going apple picking over in Illinois (yeah...we live near Illinois now...so weird).
- We have loved having sweet time with Tennessee visitors...keep it comin'!
While I was working at Starbucks, I discovered that there was this interesting little button on the cash register called the "Right Now Recovery" button. "Right Now Recovery?" you may ask...let me explain. Let's say the good and faithful Baristas at Starbucks are in the middle of a rush and the Komodo ( a.k.a. delicious dark roast ) runs out. They will immediately start brewing a new batch for you and, perhaps, your coffee will be covered. How? Your wonderful, hardworking, and talented Barista (tip em, people!) pushes that lovely little "Right Now Recovery" button. It's like a magical "Redo" button. Need another example? Ok...here goes...
My second week at Starbucks, when it was 1,000 degrees in St. Louis, a slightly sweaty and highly frazzled man came into the store. He had been shopping at Macy's with his wife and apparently began to aimlessly wander about. Shortly thereafter, he found himself lost in the underbelly of Macy's...somewhere in the basement, where they hide the mannequins and the duct work. After realizing that no one knew where he was, and that his cell phone had no reception, he scrambled around and found an exit that literally spat him out in front of our Starbucks. After listening to his harrowing tale, I made that man a green tea lemonade and pushed that "Right Now Recovery" button. That man clearly needed a beverage and a "Redo."
If only I had a life RNR button...oh the moments I would have redone...or at least had a Zach Morris moment (pause the scene, discuss the situation, come up with a plan, grab a soda, and push play). For example, "I'm game if you are, Sparky..." The RNR button would have definitely come in handy there. Or perhaps when the chair broke in a kitchen full of girls I just met In STL...RNR button for sure! I think Peter would have used the RNR button when I announced that, "we had a lot of baggage...haha" when introducing ourselves in class. Yeah...where's that recovery when you need it?
until next time...STinSTL, out.
