The other day I was at my Medical Doctor’s office, patiently sitting in the reception area of their in house lab, waiting for my turn to have my blood drawn, when I overheard a conversation between two of nurses in the lab.

A Little Story About A Coffee Shop
When we first moved to our current location about 6 years ago, I was thrilled to find a Caribou Coffee right next door. While I’ll admit that I wished it were a Starbucks, I was still excited to know that I would be able to get my daily espresso fix from a convenient location.
And I have, for six years, it’s been great, besides being convenient, the service has been fantastic, the place has been run like a well-oiled machine. I even made a few new friends from my regular visits, I’ve gotten to know a few of the girls who work there and when I walked in the door they had started my drink before I even placed my order. You can’t beat service like that!
But… you can ruin it.

They just don’t get it. It really makes me wonder, what exactly is the phone to them? Is it nothing more than just an interruption to their lunch? Why do they even have one?
