Hola Baykahs!
My counter girl called in sick today, so I'm keeping this post short and sweet....or long and sour (depending on if customers come in, and I need to help them).
You see...a bakery is LITERALLY a crew of people all collectively trying to give YOU (the customer) our best work EVERY SINGLE DAY. In my mind you are only as good as your last baked good. If your cookie batch stunk yesterday...then YOU STINK AT BAKING. BUT, you have to get up and try your hardest AGAIN and try to push that bad day or the LOOMING MOVING OF YOUR HUSBAND out of your head, so you can get the cookies JUST RIGHT.
Is this a little tough? Yes...but that's what this business IS. Customers are coming in every day expecting greatness, and that's what I expect from myself AND my crew. I expect them to be as happy about being here as the customer. THAT'S THE KEY: HAPPINESS.
It's been slightly more difficult to be "HAPPY" these days, especially with ME, but I'll be honest...once Richard LEAVES, and my new normal life becomes NORMAL I'm thinking I'll feel a little more HAPPY. But until then...there is a pit in my stomach....and no amount of cookies or potato chips (my true food vice) can fill it (believe me I've been TRYING to eat my way happy).
I have to go clean my bakery now. A counter girl's work is never done.
See you next Tuesday.
