Why I Love Starbucks #4 Refreshment and Rest
Again, I come from the place working on the road. For me, driving was hard work. The fun part of my job was being in front of a customer giving a presentation. But 1000 miles a week wasn’t that uncommon and it’s not like having an office job. I can’t walk down to the water cooler or the cafeteria.
I don’t work at Google where they provide napping rooms. I don’t work at Nike where apparently the latest word on a short mid-afternoon nap is “Just Do It”. I don’t work at HP or Cisco where they provide the pictured “Energy Pod”, encouraging employees to actually sleep on the job.
So Starbucks it is. Most are a very good place for a short 20 minute nap. The whir of the machines in the background actually provides some white noise. I can sleep fast! Short of going back to the hotel, there is no other place where you can consistently do this.
Are you a safe place of rest for customers?
Not just your location… Are you personally a place of rest and recovery?
