So I started giving it away to my friends, and I was suddenly very popular.
One of my real estate friends worked there part-time just to get the healthcare benefits, which used to be available to anyone who worked there, even part-time. I don't know if they still have these same benefits, but at that time it was a great part-time job. I knew an art-history PHD who taught part-time & ran the community-college art museum. What was her other part-time job? You guessed it- a Starbuck's barrista. She did this for a long time, too.  |
I, too, worked as a barista at Starbucks, while I was in college. Always gave away my beans, too. Starbucks still has those health bennies for part-time employees.
