great story!

Wwha wha what… Me? Sing songs about love? From my million dollar MAGA stage? COME ON!

When I was a shift lead at a Starbucks 20+ years ago in Tampa, after particularly rough mornings, I would load a couple of these up and offer them to my crew. “go into the cooler, sit down, have fun.”

We were the highest volume store in the area. On busy days, we’d do 20 gallons of whole and 15 low fat. Our tip differential was around 6-8 bucks over base pay, which was a big deal back then.

I’m still friends with that crew, even though we’ve all moved on in life. United by NO2.
