SO, Starbucks is expanding into alcohol in SoCal.
I’ve been assured that our mall store with its primary customer base of rude, tip-greedy teenagers won’t be picked to host the booze, but it’s nice to dream. As I joked with a coworker earlier this morning:
“I’ll have a Venti Wine, please, for my ten.” XD (Partners drink coffee for free on the clock). And how to regulate partners during their shifts? Breathalyzers? Who knows, lol.
I bet the tips would be bangin’, though. Yep, I just said “bangin.”
Everyone (the customers) has been asking. As another partner said to me, “What, are they advertising on the MSN homepage or something?” (Actually it’s the LA Times). I mean, it’s kind of weird, but I get where they’re coming from. Apparently it’s working out in Seattle so far. How strange.
