Starbucks Training

Well Folks today was day 2 of training with Starbucks. First of all i am very stoked to have this job, yes i applied because of Terra, so far it has been a blast! The first day was just a 4 hour shift reading paper work and doing a coffee tasting. The coffee tasting was kind of cool, not so delicious, but it was neat to see the process and to hear about the history and stuff. Today however was an 8 hour shift where i did a little book work, cleaned, cleaned and cleaned some more, did 3 coffee tastings and now i have 4 stickers in my coffee passport(it may sound lame but i actually really like the idea of having a cute little booklet full of stickers and descriptions of the different coffee) and i learned how to steam milk! Which is one of the main steps to making most of the drinks! I also learned the hard way that when you drink to much caffeine you get really jittery, random body shake spasms and a throbbing head. Lets just say i wont be drinking coffee on my breaks anymore!

Tomorrow i begin to learn the recipes for the drinks! Lets pray i dont spill myself to much!

I totally love my job though... I work with some pretty cool peeps :)

  1. We are starbucks sisters now! Miss you and love you. Amazing how much cleaning is involved, huh?! When you fill up your passport you get a really cool pin for your apron too!
