Did you vote for who I should invite to lunch/dinner at Clyde’s? If not go here to vote!
I stopped in a Starbucks while it was raining. The Starbucks employee, Jackie, was so nice that I thought I would offer her my $10. She immediately said that she thought her colleague could use the money more than her. She introduces me to Larry.

Larry is at least 6’4”…maybe 6’6”. Let’s put it this way. When I took the video of him, I was standing on a stool to try to keep a level shot. Hmmm…what does that say about me?
Larry is a really nice guy. He and Jackie both are so friendly that I want to make this Starbucks my Starbucks. The father of two, Larry is working hard to provide for his family. He says that he really enjoys his job. His favorite drink there is the Raspberry Lemonade. I asked him what was the hardest drink to make…he said the macchiato. I asked him why and he said it was because people from different parts of the world like their macchiato slightly different…so often times people want it made differently. He says he hates to disappoint his customers. “It’s hard, because you don’t know how they like it. I make it like we are trained here and if they want it differently, no problem, I make them another one just like they want it. I don’t mind remaking it, I just want them to be happy.”
Here’s a short video of Larry talking about a frustration of his…as well as telling what he is going to do with the $10!
Thanks to both Jackie and Larry for being so friendly and making me feel at home at their Starbucks. You both were great!
