Well the snow definitely fell here in providence. I find it funny that the whole city pretty much shuts down at the first sign of winter. I thought this state was considered part of new England. News flash guys winter which means snow happens every year! It like a big surprise to everyone when we get snow. Even the mall was a ghost town!. The mall barely closes on Christmas. My boss however is a trooper and opened the cafe at 5 a.m. That's right people, she made it through the scary snow and opened the cafe to make sure the people of providence Amtrak station had their coffee and sandwiches. To my dismay however this meant I was tromping through the snow to go to work as well. It ended up being a fun day though.
Some people may turn there noses up at people that work behind a cafe counter but you underestimate what we do. There are not many people in this world that would be able to deal with hurried customers every day while maintaining a polite smile and rushing to prepare their food. Most people crack withing the first week. It may mean you have a little crazy in you to do this job but i love it. Cafes are meeting places where the young old and everything in between can enjoy. Anyone who has traveled abroad can attest to this. There is a thin line between cafe and bar in France and I'm sure other areas of Europe. I hope to one day be able to have a cafe of my own. can you guess what the name would be... ill give you a hint, it starts with pips. So keep your eyes open ladies and gentlemen because one day i promise, you will see my name in the up and coming restaurant section.
