So I think I will survive this my first shift at Mercury. While I haven't quite earned the title of Barista yet, I'd like to think that somewhere between scrubbing the toilet and learning the value of slurping instead of sipping espresso (not in that order) I've achieved some level of intiation.

I'm Susanna by the way, and while I'm a newbie, I think you'll get to see more of me..........
FYI I'll be the adorable yet slightly clueless girl for next while but I fully expect to achieve coffee snobbery (in an endearing way?) by the time you are jetting around on your bike and come in here panting for an iced latte or some sweet sweet icy cold lemonade.

Yours in coffee solidarity,

Susanna Merlo
