here i come again >.<
today i am going to write about the class i attend two days ago, will be updating the post during cny soon, i hope.
okay, just to inform, to be a barista, certainly you need to attend classes, or else the training program won't be complete. since they will not open class unless there is enough people, i have to wait until now only i can go for the class. 14th february was my first day of class, valentine's day, easy to remember, pity to those couple who need to sacrifice their time on that day. according to my senior, this class is a big class, a total of 20++ new barista, and the place they use to held the class was our store, so good, i am more familiar with our store :) so, the class started at 10 am, i reached there around 9.30 am, saw a lot of people with same uniform. our facilitators for the first days were Emily, 1st avernue's store manager and Akmal, gurney tower's store manager. they are very friendly. to me, the class is quite boring, then we have our lunch at the food court, just imagine a huge crowd of people wearing black shirt black pants sitting together. then go back class again. that day we do a lot of coffee testing, we tried house blend, sulawesi, kenya and also a supermarket's brand coffee, just to let us differentiate starbucks coffee beans and other coffee beans. besides that, we also tried low fat milk and full cream milk to experience the diffence between the body of the milks, seriously orange to learn what is called acidity and also sarsi to taste the flavour. luciky we didn't get diarrhoea after this. although the class is quite boring, we actually learned a lot of new things about starbucks and also coffee. in conclusion, coffee ia an art, learning the knowledge about coffee is fun. after working at starbusks for one and a half months, i only realise starbucks is a big family.before that, i only heard seniors said he or she is from where, what happen to this store, that store, never fell connected to them cuz i know non of them, but now i know a lot of people from different store, maybe i dunno all of them, at least we meet before, now i have friends from 1st avenue, island plaza, gurney plaza, straits quay, queensbay mall and pragin mall, i think that's it la, boarders and gurney tower didn't send new barista this time, whoa~ it's a really big family i tell you. starbucks is a great place to work at, you can feel the friendlyness among all partners, like what we are creating for the customer, i love starbucks so much
on the second day of class, Eric, the store manager of straits quay taught us about bar, a lot of knowledge we have learned tat day. besides, all of us have the chance to do two drinks, after that oni know that caramel macchiato actually taste not bad, oh yea, it was the 1st drink i have in starbucks. luckily no more coffee testing that day, two tall size coffee is enough to cause insomnia >.<>
