Starbucks Coffee shop

It’s my first day of work at Starbucks coffee shop. I had really to get off the thought of working an on-campus job to make up my living expenses. But my experience on the first day, shakes me up and tells me the core value that makes US - 'People respect work and working people'.

My instructor comes along and briefs me about the various methods of making coffee, mochas and other stuff. She was excellent in the way she went about making all types of coffees and I was trying to keep up to her speed. I was admiring her. But the fact that she was pregnant and doing all the chores as coolly as any other day, made me even more surprised. For a pregnant woman to be working in a coffee shop was cool.

All of a sudden, her colleague comes along and asks ' Hey Aniche, when is your baby coming out?' She coolly remarked, “I don’t know, how long I would have to wait for this. But the doctor said it would be today. But my baby seems to be determined to come out tomorrow." Saying this, she casually remarks to us, " Hey u guys, be ready to call 911 in case any thing happens to me"

I was surprised that a woman expecting a baby that day had it in her to come out and work at a coffee shop.

This again reaffirmed the underlying spirit that this country had, “Work hard (and party harder)!!!!!”
