My life turns around this weekend

SuperSleeper · 01-26-2005

Just had an interview at Starbuck's this evening, and sounds like they're offerering me a job. The manager called some corporate guy to "refer" me to their Apple Valley location, and I have a 2nd interview on Friday, but it looks like they intend to hire me.

I know, it's no high-paying job, and none of you probably care anyway, but it's a step in the right direction for me! I applied for shift manager... hopefully that's what their intentions are with me.

And what's more, I am eligible to get my full-fledged license back as of this coming Saturday. I can't believe it's already been a year, but at the same time, it feels like it's taken forever!

So yeah, just wanted to publically display my excitement.

they have starbucks in Japan, i doubt they would import americans to work there. Nuff said.

Don't Asians work in tea joints? Wal- Marts sexist, and POLOs are small, yet tough (see other thread).

Now that we are off broad generalizations, Congrats at the new gig. Good luck

Maybe because the aznsss you know speak and talk like yourself. I've never had a problem getting a job anywhere.

Tom and stikx (more so stikx)- Those have got to be 2 of the dumbest remarks on this site yet. But that's just my opinion.

Congrats Dane, keep things moving in the right direction.

Well your's "kinda" made sence, but stikx was just plain useless and had no common thought process behind it.

Thanks guys--I'm excited to actually have a life again!

Congrats Dane!

Congrats man, a job is a job so your off to a good start. Work is only as bad as you make it so stay positive and time will fly.

SuperSleeper · 01-27-2005

Yeah, I've got a little over 2 yrs of experience in the coffee industry, and have nothing but good memories from those experiences. So I imagine it'll be a good fit for me.

More good news, I've found a buyer for the Galant--so people/organizations whom I owe money to get to see it soon!

A//// Guy · 01-27-2005

Congrats! Its nice when lots of things fall in place.

Kougar · 01-27-2005

That's good to hear man. Lots of stuff changing for the better it sounds like.

Oh...now ya can pay me back my $20 right?

**scheides** · 01-28-2005

That's cool man, gotta have something to pay the bills!

As for low paying, I know several coffee shops near my office where each person puts away over $100/day in tips. Not too shabby.

Their coffee, on the other hand, is kinda sub-par in my opinion. But, it's not like there's nowhere to go in that company! I used to live in Edinburgh, Scotland, and there were 8 starbucks within ten minutes walk of my flat. Dayyym!

ok...maybe not all of them..but sometimes it just feels like some of them are i don't know maybe it's just me..maybe i just had bad experiences with them ok
