Sales Performance

The Gift of Happiness

December 20, 2012byRyan Estis

I’ll be traveling back to Ohio on Christmas Eve to spend the holiday with family. It was on this very same trip two years ago where I received the gift of happiness from my all-time favorite Starbucks barista, Lily Olson. She appeared when I needed her and demonstrated how the gift of happiness is one that keeps on giving. I elaborate a bit on her unique approach to pouring happiness in the video below.

People like Lily remind us that there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day, and that is, Keeping Christmas.
