This week has ended up being pretty exhausting! We are still having fun, but all the drink recipes are getting overwhelming, and we haven't even started putting drinks into the register (every drink, flavored syrup, addition, modification, etc. has its own number). We open to the public on Monday, and I'm nervous that I won't be ready by then. It's awesome to learn all about coffee, though--it's like we're learning secrets that the average person doesn't know. There are endless possibilities of drinks to make!
Border's gets a lot of weird people who come in (because about two-thirds of the people who live on the north shore are weird). There's the crack dealer who has strange twitches, and there's the guy who always comes in with a cooler, and the guy who brought a pile of pebbles over to us and tried to make us wave our hands over them.... That last man we have seen everywhere; last night he was on our doorstep with a drunk guy when we got back from work. Thankfully our friend David happened to be there, too, and he was in the process of getting rid of them. Another drunk guy hung out at our corner later that night and screamed profanities at no one for about half an hour, then tried to open our door (which thankfully I had just locked) and our window. We were a little freaked out, but there are plenty of people who live nearby, so it wasn't really dangerous. I really feel like I'm in Kenya sometimes.
