Just a little wobble wobble in NYC. A specifically...anxious...customer had a blast being the messenger to all of us and the other customers as to what had happened. The quake was less exciting than watching this fellow.

I don't understand why people are freaking out so much about this "earthquake" ... A customer fell off their chair at McDonald's.... happens all the time, what's the big deal???

A barista friend in NY who spent most of their life in California, said, "Whoa! That was an earthquake." Everyone chuckled at her.

I gave out lots of free frappucino's. I gave out free french press. I gave out free pastries. I gave out free via. I did everything possible to make the customer forget about the earthquake and love starbucks and feel safe in starbucks.

Except tell them to get their sorry asses out of Starbucks and stand in the middle of the street so the building doesn't fall down on them.
