Drama...

Starbucks got a new manager. She kinda sucks. The old manager, who we'll call Mary, was pretty crazy and very strict with her employees, and customers! Smokers could not throw a cigarette butt on the ground without getting her wrath and her broom and dustpan banging into your chair. But Mary was a good manager. The store was clean and the employees worked hard, whether they were happy or not. The new manager, we will call her Taran, is awful. She has worked for the company for a long time, about ten years, but have moved around so often that she's pretty much a drifter. She also had three children (and three marriges-she's only in her thirties) and drags them around with her from state to state as she drifts. I know all about her personal life because she airs it to everyone and it's absolutely crazy! Not only that but what makes her a pretty shitty manager is the fact that cleanliness in the store is not her number one priority. Like, health code violation stuff. Plus, she's having a feud with the jewelry store across the way and she's only been here a month! (More on that post next time)

So Taran's oldest kid is sixteen. Before they moved from Deleware to Florida, he broke up with his girlfriend who's eighteen. Well, turns out she was pregant. So Taran moved her down with them. So for the past few months Taran's two kids under ten and her sixteen year old son with is eighteen year old pregnant girlfriend. Well, we find out today that they broke up again and she left for Deleware because she never really was pregnant. Turns out the girlfriend didn't want to break up so told him she was then just hoped she would get pregnant in Florida. Apparently she tried really hard because there were times when he would reject her and he would have to lock her out of his room at night! This girl is only eighteen!!! And the boy is only sixteen!!! I was appalled with this story, and even more appalled that everyone at her store knows all about it!!!

But I love it.
