A Gotham BeanGirl Column
copyright 2007 by Rachel Olivares for BARISTO.net
Ah, winter! Hot cocoas, smiling faces, higher tips and gingerbread lattes. Tis the season… Well, quite frankly, Bah Humbug! Why, you ask?

Baristi everywhere take heart! There are a few simple things you can do to ensure an easier passage through this “winter wonderland”.
