Things I learned while working at Jim's Bagel and Bake Shoppe this summer
- People like their coffee.
If you fuck it up, they will kill you. Or worse. NOT GIVE YOU A TIP!
- Donuts are no joke.
Chocolate covered plain is WAY different then chocolate coverd cake. Never mess that one up.
- Sometimes speaking English is the way to go.
Those Brazillians will talk about you right there.. but in Portuguese. Scary.
- According to some Brazillians my name is Keith.
Not Kate. K-E-I-T-H. That is the truth.
- Pay-day is orgasmic.
Especially when you break into the "I just got my check" dance.
- Fisherman will stare and stink.
Beware.
- Just because you don't care if coffee is light or dark doesn't mean that guy doesn't care.
He won't pay if the tint is incorrect.
- A sesame seed bagel, toasted, with plain cream cheese is a gift from God.
Especially with two little donut holes on the side.
- The countdown until your break can be excruiating.
It's worse for me because I live to eat.
- Vitamin Water should be sold for $100 a bottle.
It is just that good.
- Just because your boss is terribly unorganized and out of it doesn't mean you have to be.
*The faster you get your shit done. The faster you go to the beach, folks!*
- Just because you can make a gallon of coffee in 10 minutes doesn't mean everyone else can.
Don't get pissed when that slow girl, Nicole, takes three days.
- Making canolis is a damn good time.
Try it. You might just like it.
- The customer is always right.
The customer is never right.
I learned so much more during my time at Jim's. But those little
tid-bits must be kept to myself , for they are to sacred to be shared
with just any person. But for now. I have a new job. D' amici's bakery
is calling me. And this time. Everyone speaks my language.
