This was our company picnic. Not really that exciting. Mostly just giving everyone a pat on the back. But hopefully this will give you a taste of Starbucks. Then again I never really could do it justice.
3:30pm
Dang. There is a ton of food left over!

John (regional vise president) and Sara (regional president) gave closing statements.
2:40pm
I thought we were done at two?
2:35
Two guys from my store got an award!!! I am excited for them. They deserved it. one got the Be Welcoming award for always introducing himself to customers and smiling. He’s so great to work with. The other guy got the Be Involved award for always involving customers in coffee tasting and pairings. He does one on every shift. That was exciting!
2:10pm
All the district managers got up and presented awards to stores and partners in their area. It was so awesome. The stories were amazing. One manager told about how a store in her area helped a lady unknown to them through a deep depression with their smiles.
2:02pm
With all these free Izzies I defiantly took advantage of the five minute break.
1:50pm
Five minute break and then the awards.
1:45pm
Oops! Spaced for a few minutes and missed the last couple questions. It’s really not that interesting. They started using business lingo and lost me.
1:12pm
Question: Are there any plans to change tip distribution for our area?
Answer: No. John (regional vice president) reconfirms Starbuck’s statement that they believe the original judge in the California ruling to be wrong.
1:00pm
First question: when are we getting our new espresso machines and Clovers?
Answer (abbreviated version of a long drawn out response): we can’t say now.
12:39pm
Twenty minute warning till the Q&A session. A few more partners from our store showed up.
11:56 am
Just challenged my manager to race me through the obstacle course, but we decided to postpone it till after lunch since Smokey Bones just drove up with the food.
11:40am
Wow! Was I just talking to the regional vice president (Hugh Grant impersonator)? And I think they lady with him was the head-hauncho for Florida!

Just hanging out. Found a girl who covered a shift at our store once with me. Talking about nothing seems optimal when you are at a relatively boring party with no one you know.
11:25am
So they just stopped talking and everyone dispersed in the direction of giant blow-up optical course.
11:00am
Some guy is speaking. He reminds me of Hugh Grant, only because of the accent and similar wrinkles around his eyes.
10:57am
Oh. I get it. It’s a question answer session, where they ask the questions and we answer. If we get it right we get a Starbucks card. Boring questions. Who cares about 410K?
10:55am
Feel like I just jumped into the middle of a conversation. I think that they just introduce people…

10:48am
Found it! Okay, don’t recognize any one.
