Students Greeted with Signature Starbucks Apron and a Smile

Part of the college experience is dining on campus. Towson University and Black and Gold Catering company host a variety of different dining atmospheres and cuisine that appeal to any palate. However, some of these dining experiences may taste better than others. Ptux is like dining at a Michelin star restaurant in comparison to the fare offered at Glen dining hall.

The best place on campus by far to stifle those minor hunger pains and grab a cup of coffee on the go is the Starbucks located on the first floor of Cook Library. Despite the budget breaking prices and usually long lines, students who stop here are always welcomed by an assortment of friendly baristas.

Also donned in the signature green apron, Starbucks logo, and name tag, it seems that part of this particular Starbucks employee uniform is a smile. Unlike many of the members of the Black and Gold Catering company, the women who work at Starbucks are always cheerful and eager to help you.

Whether it is 8 a.m. and you are trudging to class half awake and in desperate need for that jolt of java or it is 8 p.m. and you need a study break and a shock of sugar to your system for that all night study session, these women will provide you with a hot cup of coffee and an encouraging word to help you along.

Everyone could learn a lesson from these women at the Starbucks on campus. A good attitude and a smile makes your day easier and everyone else's day better. Even on the worst of exam days, that splash of green and flash of smile combined with empty calories and caffeine lightens my mood.
