So I started work at my new Starbucks.
It is weird.

The funny thing is, it's very much the same as Canada Starbucks (cs for now - I'm too lazy to type both words every time) but also very different. The till/cash systems are very, very different, and everytime I am on till (which would be every shift I do ever) I feel like I have travelled back in time and am playing Cross Country Canada rather than ringing through people's orders. Also, they're not too concerned with cleanliness - they grab the inside of the cups all the time, and they don't use sanitizer for their milk cloths...ick. They call drinks differently than at home and make some of the drinks differently too (Ashley, when I come home, remind me to make you a Strawberries and Creme - brit style. It's weird), so I feel like I'm in some alternate universe where technology hasn't advanced and everyone has weird accents.

But it's a job. And since Timeplan wasn't nice enough to tell me that they don't deal with Manchester for jobs, I have to find something. There's a headstart program that has a head office right beside my store that I may check out though, apparently they're recruiting right now, and I would love to deal with children again, and not impatient adults that want their lattes NOW.

Maybe it's the weather. I think the sun might have shone last week, but I'm not sure...

Hmm. UK Starbucks sounds interesting. I hope you get that job! Or at least find one with children that you love! :)
