tricia!!!!

but to answer your questions anyways...

my favorite coffee varies. i do not like hot coffee at all though. generally anything with caramel in the mix i'm all for and i enjoy mixing things up. [my favortives so far are white chocolate/irish cream and caramel/toasted marshmallow].

i really like being a barista. especially where i work. it's a local owned shop so yes we are in it for business but it's not all number crunching so i can take a few moments and talk to my customers. get to know them. what they do for a living. their kids. etc. i've been here a year now and don't plan to leave soon.

Do you like Starbucks?
Title: Re: Ask baristagirl
Post by: Heather on July 15, 2009, 11:23:58 AM
don't say that foul word in  my presence!!! lol.

actually even before i worked here i did not like Starbucks. everytime i was in there, reguardless of location, the customer service was terrible. plus i knew they roasted there beans way way too long. they pretty much burn there coffee beans. also they are way to expensive.

the play was very time consuming, but i loved it. my favorite part was the fact with so much vocal training i had a lady come up to me at church sunday and say i sang beautifully. lol. [i got kicked out of a upci choir bc the director didn't like my low alto voice. literally she told me to lip sync or get off her platform.] but i also enjoy doing all the behind the scenes things. i'm considering stage managing for a few shows next year.

i have some VERY eccentric customers. the first gentleman that comes to mind wants a half caff/half decaf extra hot capp [not too much foam - which is what makes a capp a capp] with only half a splenda.

i also have some customers who know nothing about coffee and have to try really really hard not to laugh in front of them. yesterday i had a guy come through and ask for a black coffee, then asked if we had 'that espresso stuff'. to which before i could stop myself 'um we are a coffee shop'....

currently i am majoring in eating Whoppers Robin Eggs. i had to take the semester off of school to do theatre. there was just no time to work full time, do school full time, and theatre full time. a girl must sleep occasionally. if i decide to go back i'll be majoring in Social Work with a minor in theatre.

thats a hard question because i have a few favorites. mostly it's personality and if it's someone i can laugh with who not only can i brighten there day [and give them caffeine] but they brighten mine as well.

How are you liking helping with the theater
Title: Re: Ask baristagirl
Post by: Heather on April 30, 2010, 03:09:10 PM
if it were not for the theatre i would still be hiding in my hole of an apartment [my old place], eating tubs of ice cream and crying because i had no friends. seriously. theatre is the 1st place ever in my life where i can go, be a part of, and they require no change from me. they embrace me as is and encourage me to flourish.
Title: Re: Ask baristagirl

You can, but it's tricky.  And the further down you go, the more pressure, the harder it becomes.

Title: Re: Ask autopartsgirl
Post by: Heather on March 28, 2011, 03:45:57 AM
Not with how my work schedule is. Also alot of things that happen at the theatre conflict with trying to live for God. Not anything too horribly bad, but I'm the type of person I take that one step backwards and I fall down an entire flight of stairs. So I've kinda had to distance myself from that group.
