Sometimes I love my job.

No, genuinely!

We got a Snapshot shopper today, as far as I know; after a while you can tell 'em by sense of smell. (Looks at the pastry case, asks a STUPID QUESTION, engages with you, orders a tall beverage with no modifications -- it can't even be nonfat) A fellow manager and I immediately went into the best little softshoe in Rhode Island, chatting with custies, using words like 'Gosh' and 'Falltastic!' All completely unscripted, and very genuine-sounding, according to the be-fucking-wildered barista.

...Then the shopper left the store.

We turned to each other.

"I feel dirty!!"

"Well... at least we were smoking the same kind of crack..."

And the world went on again.

Also, if you live in the area, patronise Dave at The Chocolate Delicacy (619 Main across from the Fleet). I usually don't plug anything, but he is a good man and I believe in eating locally and dammit, he deserves the business and his cordial cherries still have the stems sticking out.

Snapshot? Is this some kind of in-house undercover performance review?

Yep. We're graded on everything from rapport to drink weight. Luckily, the Snapshot people are easy to spot because they do everything in a certain order and then order a certain kind of drink. This one's profound philosophical question was 'Is there milk in a latte?'
Good Snapshots mean good bonuses. Bad Snapshots mean a firin' spree.

(Hello, by the way!)
