November 20th: Be a Barista for a day

I love the starbucks barista.  Especially the good ones that take the time to stir your mocha into your milk so that you don’t get a glob of chocolate powder at the bottom.  I’d love to be a Barista for a day – make peppermint mochas with whipped cream piled high and write compliments on the coffee collars.  I’d write the following things to my fellow Starbucks visitors today:

  • Hey Good Lookin’
  • Nice Tie
  • Go hug your kids you moron
  • Way to work the leopard print flats, H-O-T.
  • Nice haircut!
  • You’ve got good things coming to you.
  • You’re rockin.  That’s all I’m saying.
  • What an awesome smile – use it more – you’ll like the response.
  • You’ve got a little whipped cream on your nose.
  • Your eyes are kind.
  • You’re going to find what you’re looking for.
  • Yankees WIN thhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeee Yankees Win!
  • Maybe next time rethink the man-capris
  • Looks like your kid could use a coat.
  • chin up.
  • Dust off the attitude get ready for something good.

If you could write on someones coffee collar around YOU today – what would you write?

    Oh gosh, this is hard. I'll think about it and be back.

    Let's see. I would write: - Carpe Diem! - Nothing happens unless first a dream. - Cute kid(s) - Smile.

    I've decided. I would write: "You're beautiful and loved." Not too many of us - men or women - hear it enough or believe it enough.

    LOVE IT! (dont you just HATE bad baristas. I would write "time for big boy underwear".

    LOL - I was one, but not at starbucks, and loved the different coffee aromas! I'd write, 'slow down, today only lasts a little while'
