A Good Thing: Heartwarming Regulars (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ihateyousoymatcha
Our store has the sweetest elder couple that come in regularly. Their drinks are complicated, but they are kind, polite, and patient every time they order. They're my go-to regulars to introduce Green Beans to because they never get mad or impatient.

The husband comes first, orders their drinks, and saves her a seat at one of the comfy chairs. The wife arrives and picks the drinks up from the handoff. They sit in the comfy chairs to sip their drinks. When they're both finished, they move to a table, and pull out a daily crossword in a newspaper. They won't leave until it's finished and sometimes stay long after to do one of the puzzles we keep in the cafe.

They are relationship goals for literally everyone at my store. I want to find someone like that, a companion, a partner, to sit for hours and do crosswords with in a cafe when I'm older. Just wanted to share something positive today.

Legit the best part of the job. Especially polite kids, I ask them what's their favorite animal and draw it for them. If they are too young to speak, they get a sticker.

That’s so sweet! I remember a few weeks ago there was a sweet older couple visiting my area that came in every day. They were patient when I was trying to figure out the order with them and overall generally nice people. It’s the nice ones that keep me going here.
