Coffee Caboose Job
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Some of you may already know from Courtney's blog that I have a job at a local coffee shop! I just started last week, and so far it is going well. I enjoy coffee so this is the perfect little place for me to work. Plus, it's super part-time; only three hours a day three times a week! It's so close to our house that I can bike to it in about fifteen minutes.
So far things have been going well. The only time I freeze up is when people ask me what a certain drink tastes like. I've only tried a few things that we even sell - so I usually don't know what the drink/food item is going to be like until I've prepared it!
Since I work the morning shift, business is slow, and we only get a few customers. I have to keep everything clean at all times though, so even if I'm not serving someone, I'm cleaning stuff up from the last customer! I have finally learned what expresso, latte, and chai mean. I am also learning how certain regular customers want their drinks made every time - one guy likes his drink super hot and with lots of foam, another lady likes her's with extra flavored powder and a few pumps of pumpkin spice syrup. I hope I remember it all!!
The best part of it is that if there is any leftover expresso at the end of my shift.....I get to make myself a free drink. Mmmmm.

That's great, Rachel! I work at my family's business, which is a fitness facility. My job is watching the children while their parents excerise, and I thoroughly enjoy it!
I am so glad that your job is going well. I am sure you are a huge blessing to the coffee shop!
Your Sister In Christ,

Sounds fun! Unfortunately, I don't like coffee, so that job would be rather inconvenient for me. :) Blessings on your new job! Hope you always get the order right. ♥
Congrats on your job Rachel! Sounds like a yummy way to make some $$ :) Wish there were more mom-and-pop coffee places like that in our neck of the woods....Have fun! Blessings to you, Teresa
