Performance Review

Conversation I really didn’t need to hear at the Starbucks I frequent:
Manager: “So your attendance is good, but you’ve really got to get better at the hand-washing”
Employee who makes my coffee every week: “Yeah… I know.”

    Though I think I’d rather hear that than “you should really get that rash looked at…” :-)

    Is it mean that I’m laughing right now?

  3. Neil Says:

    Maybe it adds to the flavor of the coffee.

    Aaaaaack! Time to buy an espresso machine maybe?

    You know, tequila kills germs. If they allowed us to drink tequila at work instead of coffee, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
    Just a thought.

    Attendance?
    “Also, that thing on your neck has been leaking more than usual.”

    Aaaaaggggh! And also: why was that conversation conducted in earshot of the customers?

    EW.

    I foresee a drink line…”Derma-Frappuccino: Now with 20% more skin cells!”

    Ouch. Do you still go there? I guess it could have been worse, if he had asked if they were able to clear things up with antibiotics or some kind of creme.

    Yikes. The manager should have stripped the employee of his “flair” and made him start over.

  13. Tracy Lynn Says:

    Maybe your next tip should be one of those mini bottles of and sanitizer. *shudder*

  14. Cheryl Says:

    Maybe right after you fled the scene, the employee said, “…but I do use this anti-bacterial hand sanitizer before every latte I make.” Let’s pretend, at least.

    Ew! (I’d put it in all caps for additional emphasis, but then it’d look like Entertainment Weekly.)
    Being a near obsessive hand washer myself, I will now try to repress this post deeply so that I’ll still be able to eat out.

    Euwwwww….

  17. jenny Says:

    LOL – so it looks like the consensus here is: EWWWW! and… don’t ever go there again.
    but, but… it’s the starbucks right across from my office. can’t i just order my lattes extra hot?

    This would be about the time I find myself a new regular coffee joint.

  19. peefer Says:

    Beautiful.

    I am sure that the coffee will kill any germs. You know they let a small mammal eat coffee beans, pass them, and sell them for big dollars. Hopefully the filthy hand coffee will never catch on or your Starbucks will get very expensive.
