First real day
Sunday, I watched, I listened, I absorbed. I was also taken a bit by surprise when Boss Man said, "Now, you make (this much money). When I make you shift supervisor, you'll make (this much much more money)." Then he walked away. Supervisor? Huh? Sweet! Guess he really was in desperate need of rock star staff.
Today, I became the master of the cash register, keeping the various coffee pots fresh and full, keeping pastries and bakeries stocked and making sure everything else is clean while maintaining cheerfulness and sanity during rushes. It's not as hard as I thought it would be and was actually rather fun!
Boss Man says to keep the fresh coffee carafe open with the grounds & basket sitting on top, and to set it on the counter for a few minutes. "It makes the place smell like a coffee shop". Now that he mentions it, yeah, when I walked in to the cafe I normally haunt, nary a whiff to be smelled. When I went into work, I was bathed in the nearly intoxicating aroma within 5 steps of walking in. Customers kept mentioning that, part of what they love about Escape, is the smell.
Tomorrow, Drink Mixology! It doesn't look to hard... I plan on trying my hand at making a bit of latte art too, if I get the chance. It should be an interesting day!
