From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
25 January
My son and his wife have just made the following New Year’s
resolution: leave their Internet business and before the year’s out move to the
Sierra foothills to open up their own snob coffee shop/dessert shop. [Among
other things, my daughter-in-law does a killer tiramisu!].
But before they do anything drastic they’ve decided to get
their feet wet gradually: he’ll continue with the Internet business and she'll
get a job as a barista at a foothills Starbucks for six months. While there
she’ll work her way up first to assistant manager, then manager. That way
she’ll learn the coffee-shop business from the bottom up, and all on Starbucks'
nickel!
How’s that for a New Year’s resolution!
