All,
I have some tragic news.
The owner of RedRock foods and a cafe in queen creek arizona died in a very tragic way just a few days ago.
I worked as a barista at the cafe and roasted for another company in scottsdale not related.

All the Baristas are stunned and are very sad for the loss.
We could not believe it.
The Cafe was a very third wave concept.
We where excited to have a gb5 and fetco in a shop that has only been open 2 and half months.

I am letting you know hoping you can help us baristas find jobs.
This job was were most of my hours came from and I was barley getting by at that supporting my wife and my 3 year old boy.
But I love coffee and stick with it because I am very passionate about helping others develop there skills and inspiring them about coffee.

If anyone has any jobs for us here in Arizona or elsewhere I would appreciate it if you let me know so I can pass the information on to the manager and other baristas.

You can email me at jason_casale@fastmail.fm

Jason,
This does suck. I worked for Bill for just over a year. I really hope things work out for you guys. I've talked to Carla several times now, and all you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Best of luck and drop me line soon.

Some Baristi I am sure are not willing to relocate I am anywhere that has a barista job for me.
I think Carla the manager would think about it as well.
So it could be really anywhere.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, both natural and extended. I know something will come up for you guys, and I'll keep my ears to the ground. I just went into a shop today near me to find out it is closing this Saturday. I feel it because they, like you, are family. Keep your chin up.
