Highlight Appreciations from Guests
Every Single One of You
Hello, Today I'm not going to talk about lunch - which was great, or the dessert - which was Fantastic. I'm here today to call out Every Single One of You. Sure, I'm a quiet friendly person, and I smile at everyone I pass. It's that kind of place here. But even when folks are up to their eyebrows in dishes, or line chaos, or anything else, I get a friendly nod or smile back. How did you even See me from in the dish room?? Front of house, back of house, servers, cleaners, line, pastry, chefs, I don't even know what to call some folks. And if Any of you know James, Jon or Rebecca, you Always get a hello from them. I'm sorry I don't know more names, I'd call you all out myself. And the best part? Folks are going to see this and pass it to those who's name I don't know. Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR THE CARE
A quick thank you to the Bellevue and Seattle cafe teams. From the greeters reminding us to scan in, to the staff working to keep the items stocked and the area clean, and the chefs working hard to keep the food fresh, hot, and plentiful: THANK YOU. Yesterday at Bellevue they ran out of a dish and the chef asked us to wait 5-10 min as it was in the oven. When it came out, he apologized multiple times and thanked those waiting for their patience. In that moment I realized how much I appreciate all of the work and that these team members genuinely want to keep us fed with delicious, nutritious food. So thank you to everyone who makes our cafes run smoothly. Its worth the wait.
