Olympic Spirit

So I didn't get to see the gold medal game on Sunday between the US and Canada, but thanks to Starbucks customers I didn't miss a beat.

First of all, I'd like to mention just how dead Starbucks was during the game. Three of us girls were working, and each of us would have rather been in front of a TV cheering on our athletes. But the very few customers who did come in for their coffee all knew exactly how the game was going.

It was amazing. Every single person who walked in the door knew the score. One lady in the cafe had her blackberry out and gave us updates as they came in. So my Sunday at work missing the game turned into an Olympic party.

We even knew the moment Canada won, and so did everyone in the vicinity when our link to the Olympics jumped out of her seat and yelled "Canada just won!"

So there we were, a cafe half full of strangers celebrating our hockey team's win together while earning a day's pay. (We really do live in a fantastic country)
