Rush Hour

One of our biggest curiosities has to be on the experience of working at such a popular chain during the busiest times of day. For Victoria, those times were between classes, periods that spiked at multiple times of day, all day long.

They were "both exciting and hellish": while they made the time past quicker, she admitted that they were extremely stressful and taxing on employees. Thousands of people would come through in a single day, at their campus location alone. "It always felt like you were just coming up for air by the time things settled down," she said.

Throw in a customer or two who decides to get picky or impatient about their drink, and just imagine how much more stress that could add!
