I have a Xmas gift certificate to Starbucks and my shopping and banking was going so pleasantly today I decided to give my gift card a swipe. The Starbucks here is an island incarnation with around a dozen high stools and around 4 staff members.
As I stood in line, the girl in front of me was obviously a friend of the barista and they were talking about their plan for the weekend. I don't mind if it is a quick interaction but it was dragging for a bit, I mean I am obviously a customer standing there and they still kept talking. I don't know man talk and serve me; make my coffee, multi task for crying out loud, it doesn't take much.
I finally got my brew and forgot about the whole thing but I noticed the three other staff girls in deep conversation on the side. Starbucks I know you are an island but you don't have to act like you are on one.
