About a year ago, I wrote an article titled To The Barista At My Favorite Coffee Shop to those who worked at the Starbucks on Creighton's campus last semester. Since those who worked there no longer do, I wanted to write a thank you letter to the new employees because they deserve their own thank you, as well.

Dear new employees at the Starbucks on Creighton's campus,

THANK. YOU. Thank you a million times for smiling, dealing with tons of orders each and every day, working from sunrise to sunset, and for seemingly never being unhappy about your job.

You guys rock. I see the line stretch across the Skutt Student Center daily, and although it stresses me out waiting in that line, I cannot imagine working that line (Actually I can. I worked at Cold Stone Creamery a while ago and we always had lines out the door for hours).

Thank you for smiling as you take everybody's order. Thank you for making each order perfectly. I honestly hardly ever see you guys make a mistake. You somehow manage to take your time making each drink so wonderfully, and yet still get it to the customers within a timely manner. You guys are working some magic behind that counter.

The "Starbucks experience," if you will, that you give to Creighton students, faculty, staff and guests is different from any other Starbucks. I mean, every Starbucks is amazing, but you guys are my personal favorite for many reasons. When I graduate in a year, I will likely miss visiting this location almost every day.

I remember one fall day, you guys drew fall designs on the pink, orange and blue colored fall cups. Not only do you do your job, you go above and beyond to do that job. So, thanks. Thank you for all that you do. I wait in line for 20 plus minutes because I love Starbucks coffee, but also because you guys make my day just a little brighter.
