"I love making everyone's day by bringing them that black gold, we all need every day. I can't wait to wake up and cheer everyone up for their upcoming work schedules. I wouldn't say I hate anything. Cleaning and keeping my work space clean is a great way to make everyone know your coffee shop is the place to be."
