Gloria's Girls

Partners in Crime. The buck stops right here people. We are managers and we know it. We aren't afraid to use our power. We've been to Gloria Jean's University you know. She's an absolute cracker of a gal and we've become great friends. The cafe opens tomorrow (Monday) and we are moving into a season of very long days and much caffeine. 

This afternoon we had a free drink special for any Friends and Family of staff who wanted to give us opportunity to test drive the cafe. This photo was taken when we were looking for customers. We got to a point when someone (with a lot of friends) helped us have 28 pending orders on the screen. Absolute chaos. By the end of the night we ran out of ice and milk! A few essential ingredients. 

 

Here I am battling technology and learning the "Front of House" system. 

Before all the furniture got moved in. The Video Ezy store got chopped in half and Gloria moved into the building! All Video Ezy customers walk down the corridor past the cafe to get a DVD. 

The cafe is on a main street outside a very busy station and bus port, ie. 1000 kids hanging around between 3 & 4pm. Argh.
