Change was in the air yesterday at 7th and Montana as an Anonymous Mover and Shaker made the scene with one goal in mind: To reorganize Our Favorite Starbucks. I knew something was up when a man dressed in the Ubiquitous Starbucks Management black shirt and khaki slacks started walking around with a clipboard, making suggestions to Manager Extraordinaire Gabe who, in turn, listened intently. At one point, the Mover and Shaker asked a customer for advice. "Is this holiday display in your way?," he asked. "Yes," said the customer, "Maybe you could move it a bit further away from my table." Moments later, a Workerbee slid the display-in-question a few inches to the East. I waited patiently, but the Mover and Shaker never asked me for my opinion (despite my obvious efforts to get his attention). Had he asked, I would have said: "Take a sledgehammer to the wall separating us from the now-defunct surf shop next door. You barely have enough room for coffee beans let alone customers. Go ahead, Break on Through to the Other Side ...!"
I think he should eat a big bowl of their new oatmeal offering and get regular, it looks like he hasn't taken a crap for a week...what a stuffed shirt lookin' guy!...give me a break.
ReplyDeleteWas there anyone wearing Santa hats?
ReplyDeleteIs Moving and Shaking a degree you can get at a business college? Sounds like that might be a fun thing to do!
ReplyDeleteB.
I like the surfboard suggestion. You could mount them on little posts and have a seat to drink your coffee and eat your fritters!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he could use a shake and a movement :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you didn't ask to be saved from the Apple Fritters! LOL
