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.

Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) -Astrud Guilberto (eng vocals), AC Jobim (port lyrics, composer), Stan Getz (sax), João Gilberto (guitar)

Our music automatically repeats like every 5 hours or so, but today I heard this song 5 times.  I’m a big fan of all thing bossa nova/Jobim, so I’m all about singing along.  

I handed someone an americano, and he says “Your tips not good enough?”  I gave him a look because I had no idea what he was talking about, and then he said “baristas have to sing now to get tips?”  I wasn’t sure if he was a jerk telling me to shut up or a nice guy trying to make a joke.  I’m pretty sure it was a latter because he went back to the register to put an extra dollar in our tip jar :)
