10 A.M.: Coffee and Other Beverages

Coffee is backed up. Actually it’s at a standstill. Rosemary has decided to recalibrate the espresso machine because she feels the shots aren’t coming out perfectly. Now everyone has to wait ten minutes for a latte, maybe longer. This is certainly not the first time she has done this during a rush, so I immediately start having our servers give out free cups of drip coffee. That’s what happens at Huck: Things may go wrong, but generally when they do it’s because we’re trying to make something better, and at least we always give out free things to make up for it. It’s a real human-run business.
