Hi folks, I haven't written in a while, but the baby is crawling, so forgive me, time is flying by. But I do want to keep the brain flowing so here's a shot at a little something....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there. My name is Marissa and I work here in this coffee shop. Uhm. Ok. My manager said that these camera crews were going to be here today and that I was supposed to show you guys around, which is kind of weird considering she's the manager and I'm just a shift, but whatever. I don't care. Just as long as I don't have to be on the floor and wait on customers. Where do you want to start? With me? Heheh. Uhmm ok. We can do that. What do you mean though? Like where I stand to wait on people? Ohhh you mean like about me personally.

So, I started working here two years ago as a barista. That's the part-time help around here. I got the job by just coming in and filling out an application. I was looking for a job at several places at the time because I had just started college. I applied at like American Eagle, uhm, Zales, I thought it would be cool to sell diamonds, plus my friend worked there and stuff. Uhm...where else did I apply? Three places, I know...Oh right. Here. So yeah, I interviewed at Zales and they really liked me but they wanted me to work on Sundays and I just didn't do that then. Yeah, I was big on going to church and stuff. American Eagle ended up calling me after I got the job here so that sucks for them, but I hear they don't get paid much over there. Anyhoo- I handed in my application to Sheila, who is right over there, hi Sheila! I'm waving at her, you can't see her because she just went in the backroom, but yeah. Ok.

Uhm, where was I? Oh, yeah, I had my first interview with Sheila and then the manager at the time, Katie, offered me the job on my second interview. So, here I am! What do you want to do now? How about I take you on a tour of our shop? Awesome.

Ok, you already saw the front door. That's our company sign. I don't know who designed it or anything, but it's pretty trendy. So once you walk in, you're in our cafe here. We have lots of tables and chairs, a few comfy chairs they just put in, probably because they heard we were going to be in a movie or something. It's not a movie? Oh, a documentary. Ok. Uhm. That's not a movie? Is this going to be in like L.A. or something? That would be so cool! Hahaha. Right.

So, yeah. This is our retail wall. We sell mugs and chocolate and stuff. It's a biotch to dust though, I'll tell you that much. I'm always afraid I'll break something, and you have to move so much junk to just get one shelf done. Luckily, we only do that like once a month, so I don't have to do it that much.

So this huge counter over here is for our coffee. It's pretty disorganized. We sell a lot of whole bean here so that's why it's all over here.

Uhm... ok if you come here with me we'll go to the registers where Meghan is. Hi Meghan! Uhm... do you guys sell coffee here... haha haha! Hehe.

Can we take a break? I'm kind of thirsty and need to go to the bathroom. What? You're going to keep the camera's rolling? You aren't going to watch me pee or something are you? Because I'm not ok with that. Oh. Right. Ok. I thought this was going to be like Big Brother or something where you're always on camera and they end up editing it so the people sound like idiots. Hah. I never want to do that. Anyway, I'm going to get a drink. Probably just a latte. Do you guys want anything? We're not really busy right now, it shouldn't be a problem for us all to order. You sure? Tommy's at the bar and he makes really good cappuccinos. Right Tommy?
