Thank You To My Starbucks Barista

You're appreciated more than you know

Thank You To My Starbucks Barista

How often do you truly thank your Starbucks barista? Most likely, your answer is not enough. One day this week after my Starbucks visit, I realized that I don't tell my baristas how much I appreciate them. I also realized that these workers might be some of the most unappreciated workers in general. They do so much for us with one simple task of making my coffee and/or breakfast sandwich for the day. They have the power to make your nine hour class day when you have three exams and a paper due enjoyable just because you have that Starbucks cup in your hand.

Thank you for...

Dealing with me when I'm at my absolute worst.

Putting up with me on mornings like this.

Giving me what I need to survive.


Keeping me awake during my most boring class.


Talking to me when you can tell I'm awake and sometimes being my therapist.

Not talking to me when I'm not in the mood to be awake at this early hour.


Keeping me from NOT walking into my 8 am like this.

Adding extra, extra carmel for no reason.

My free coffee because I come in so often. Or because you can tell I truly need it to function that day due to the darkness of my under eye circles. Whichever one works.

Not poisoning me on a daily basis.


Being the best. BecaSoemuse you are.


Without our baristas, we couldn't get through the day as smoothly as we do. We'd be grouchy, sleepy, and extremely unpleasant to be around. You do more than "just make coffee." You make my day.

Thank you for keeping me alive.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
