One tall cinnamon dolce latte, and a complimentary grande mocha

The Best Part of Today #130:
Nice baristas.

Ever been to a Starbucks in New York? They are mean. I don't mean to spread generalizations, but I have never been to a New York City Starbucks and come away with a positive attitude about the baristas. Sure, in general they're serving drinks all day to people who can afford starbucks and that can get on your nerves day after day. But that doesn't mean they have to be mean to those of us who are just regular people treating ourselves to a nice flavored coffee drink.

That's why today's post is about nice baristas in coffee shops everywhere, but specifically the ones my starbucks at school. They are the nicest baristas, and just generally nice people because you can tell most of them are probably students or at least locals. The best part, though, is that when someone double order by mistake and there are unclaimed drinks on the bar, the baristas let anyone take for free, instead of dumping them down the drain and wasting them (which I've seen happen elsewhere). Nothing says customer service like getting more than you paid for.
