Down with the Grease.
Down with the grease. Now, as I have mentioned many a time I have been working up at a small café uptown for the past couple of weeks. Quick recap for reason of my employment, filling in for a chick whos having a baby, and for all the summer kids that are off at college. Now, I have tried to have a good attitude about this, tried to be a good person and stay positive and help out. Shes having a baby right? Yeah, that’s an okay thing….I can deal with waiting on old people, minimum sucky wage, and smelling like baked goods all day….
But now….
Oh now….
Its not just going to be nice deli sandwiches, cappuccinos, ice cream, and baked goods. We’re going to go along with the fifty’s décor and a new menu starting tomorrow is going to include…
Burgers, French fries and any other food you might associate with the like. Gah, I shouldn’t complain this much but I don’t want to have to deal with making this food at times. I just know I am going to smell like grease 24/7, its going to eek out of my very pores. Don’t get me wrong, its not that I think I am better then this kind of work, but if I really don’t want to then why should I? I mean, if it was for a good cause I would totally do it and not utter a negative word, but its not. Its just stupid food. I would be willing to go crawl through mountains of garbage to cradle the darling suffering children in Africa, I truly would Because its worth not staying neat and being comfortable.
Bah, okay I need to shut up now. But this is say to you….I will not be working there much longer. Beads, and Edward Jones are going to be my main source of income very soon.

i sympathize.
i make it absolutely clear to my boss that i hate making sandwiches at the coffee shop. i protested enough in the early days to at least change where we make them in the morning and keep them in a fridge instead of making them on order throughout the day.
sandwiches on order are not fun in our kind of space.
did you come here for a great latte? weve got that...get your wraps and salads and sandwiches down the street at skyline cafe. thanks...
i did NOT sign up to work in a deli, i work in a coffee shop.
wait... burgers? in a... cafe?
alright, whatever. I know when I think 50's I think burgers.
Have you guys heard of the thing that McDonald's is doing now? They're branching out a new line of "McDonald's Cafe"'s, where it's like, coffee shop on one end, and good ol' Micky D's on the other. I guess we have one here in Ft. Collins, and there's one in New York. Apparently Ft. Collins is a big place to test new restaurants, being a college town and having more restaurants per person than almost any other city in the US.
