Making your latte, working with the motto "just say yes," dealing with the hobos, the clueless, the regulars, and amazing(ly dumb) customers. I'm your starbucks barista.

Sometimes I wish I could take pictures of my regulars without looking like a creepster

I’d really love documentation of these awesome two ladies who come on a daily basis.  They’re these two older women, who’s relationship we’re still trying to figure out.  At first we thought they were romantic partners, but now we just think they’re partners in crime.  Definitely roommates.  Perhaps sisters.

They bring in their own mugs and always get decaf coffee.  At night we don’t regularly brew decaf, and I dislike telling people they have to wait 4 minutes for their coffee (not as much as I dislike pouring out an untouched batch of coffee).  When I tell them that we don’t have decaf ready, they’re always so nice about it and usually make a point to say that they don’t mind waiting because it will be nice and fresh just for them.

Sometimes they come in the morning and one of them gets a plain bagel toasted with butter (no knife!) along with the decafs, but I think they come mostly at night.

One of them has these awesome big blue framed glasses, and she wears her hair in a pony tale.  Well most of her hair.  She has a small braid on either side of her face that just hang down.  I have no idea when or if this hair style was ever popular but I just love it.  I’ve never seen her without that look.  The other one’s look is less ostentatious, with thin framed glasses and grey short wavy hair.

The other morning while I was doing a slide, the non-braided woman put on a bicycle helmet and said to her friend and myself “well… up, up, and away!” and her friend goes “oh yes!”

So cute.
