There is no greater gift in the service industry than being given the chance to make someone's day just by being kind. The coffee industry is especially unique in this way - I am often the first person a guest sees before they start their morning routine. I have the chance to help set the tone for the rest of their day. Not a responsibility I take lightly!.
