Entry #8 Christmas Chaos

    Who else is a barista? As we head into the holiday season, many coffee places have introduced holiday drinks to get into the Christmas spirit. With an increase in volume due to people shopping and wanting to taste these drinks that they waited all year for, baristas have become overwhelmed with the amount of drinks, making it extremely hard to keep up with sales.
The Holidays are Back at Starbucks with Seasonal Sips and Festive Food
    As a Starbucks partner, I have had to deal with the release of the new holiday drinks. As other baristas can tell you, the increased volume in sales is challenging to keep up with. Because of more customers visiting the site and a massive increase in mobile orders, it is challenging to fashion drinks promptly. Not only are there many more drinks to make, but the featured drinks are more complicated with extra steps, making it more challenging to make them. On top of that, as the weather gets colder, many people are switching to hot drinks. This introduces an extra step.

After moving out, it was put up for sale for nearly 18 million dollars. This is an excellent place to visit and take some pictures of. Remember to use the song when you post on your stories.      "I thought I saw you at the bus stop I didn't, though." At first, you may think, what's so special about a bus stop? Well, Taylor is actually referencing Bus Top cafe, which is located in the West V

Entry #9 Is food actually good?

      Fast food has become a common source for most of people's meals. After all, it is convenient, somewhat affordable, and most of all convenient. This McDonald's ad shows a fuel pump, which represents McDonald's food pouring into the soda representing our food. The ad uses the line, "Fuel up... feel good!" Is McDonald's really a healthy source for us to be fueling our bodies with?     In this ad, McDonald's is saying that their food offers fuel for our bodies. Based off of the sources of their food, and how they cook it, is it really the best option to give us nutrients?     In society nowadays, it is common for people to rely mainly on fast food places to feed themselves.
