Whether it inhibits or encourages one’s actions, it is in my opinion that one can be highly impacted by other forces. There are several factors which are needed to be taken into consideration when it comes to this. First of all, outside forces can easily have a good, positive impact one one’s self. On the contrary, they can also have bad, negative impacts. It all comes down to three factors; how the force approaches, how it is applied, and how it is received. If all three of these deciding…

The weaknesses of Peet’s revolve around a few notable aspects, the first of which is its menu variety. Although it does offer different products, these food and drink options have little variation within them. Also, compared to some of its competitors, Peet’s is not as active with advertising and promotions, both in store and online, which deducts from Peet’s potential customer base. Additionally, locally Peet’s has an issue with service at their on-campus locations, as a large amount of UC…

The brown haired boy sighed as he ran into the coffee shop. It was quite empty, so he chose his spot closer to the window at the end. “The usual?” The barista asked him, he nodded and looked over at the counter. He squinted slightly to look at a newspaper add, seems to be quite the headline. He got up to grab the paper, then heard a walking cane. He furrowed his brows as he looked over to see a man in his…

to promoting the shop. The biggest form of promotion thus far has been word of mouth. With word of mouth business has picked up exponentially, but still more is needed. What has been done to add to the shop is how we train our staff members. The baristas are trained in a very rigorous course on coffee and how to make coffee properly, but the coffee is not all that matters. The service itself also matters immensely. Therefore the staff is trained in how to properly take care of a customer. That…

Few Moments of Love Talking to the nature is so relieving at times. One moment she would splash into the water, another moment she would be out on the sand, sitting and looking at the waves as they flowed back and forth. Kamiya was a very lucky woman. She got married two years back with her childhood love, Banmeet. A proud wife of an honest Air Customs officer, she would happily perform her duty of a wife and of a daughter in law. Recently she had joined a famous college of the city as a…

goals, I want to talk about the time I worked in a dining hall. I worked in Dux Bistro which is one of the canteens in University of Oregon in the Living and Learning Center from January to August in my third school year, and I am a food server and Barista there. As a team player, I collaborated with 10 to 20 people including students and staffs worked in a fast-paced environment to deliver quality product and provided quality customer service to customers. And I also did my responsibilities in…

133 Page E-book). He then comes back to find all of America changed, starting from his thorough search at the airport. With the India-Pakistan standoff happening in his homeland, the nostalgia that has taken over Erica, the comparison made by Juan-Barista of Changez to janissaries, and the gaze by which his surrounding fellows look at him post 9/11(his coworkers and weird foreign strangers that swear at him when he walks to his car after duty), Changez decides he cannot live the American Dream…

This attempt of resolving the poverty problem can be seen in Starbucks because it provides jobs when a new one opens. There are thousands of Starbucks worldwide and money is used to establish the relationship between consumers and producers (baristas) of coffee. This is different than a utopia because you are paying, through buying a beverage, for a space where you can feel at home while also being in public. While you are in Starbucks, you can keep to yourself and have a calm environment where…

outside of that. Alex Taylor-Alex went to see his brother and nephew this weekend. He really was glad to be back and hang out with his "pit family" (his group of friends who hang out in the "pit" outside his dorm). He is still trying to get a job as a barista in The Wired Scholar. He went to the library one day last week from 11am to 6pm. He is pushing his friends and himself to study everyday. Next week we are going to look into the child development minor. He really wants to become a lawyer…

generations that inculcated us with the importance of formal higher education. Many people are calling us the new "Lost Generation", which I resent, because we didn't lose ourselves-we were following you. Millions of educated waiters and waitresses and baristas fight feelings of worthlessness each time we walk into Applebee’s as an employee, not guest, or every time we add cream to your coffee, and then we open the newspaper to your column, which, ironically, offers nothing to anyone. While…
