As readers of this blog are likely disproportionately composed of younger adults in the Greater Cincinnati area, we gladly supply the following announcement as a public service for those in this demographic who need a summer job.
Paramount King's Island, soon to be Cedar Fair King's Island, is apparently experiencing an acute shortage of barristas to staff its prosperous Starbucks coffee emporium. We have this on the authority of Son of SWNID, who reports today after his first day back on the job earning precious tuition money at said cafe, that the store has only twelve staff members available.
Gentle readers seeking seasonal employment and possessing an ambition to meet the latte and frappuchino needs of theme park patrons should apply immediately. The position pays better-than-minimum wage (take that, advocates of a higher minimum wage!) and offers paid training, meal benefits, portable seniority with the Global Starbucks Conspiracy, and various free-admission benefits (allowing employees and their friends to enter the park for roughly what it's actually worth).
Employees will also experience the joy of explaining to neophyte patrons the subtle differences among the 3000 or so available beverages and of dealing with the idiosyncrasies of seasoned customers ("I said that I wanted the soy milk steamed to only 135 degrees!"). They can also enjoy the feeling of superiority toward all other park employees in food services, whose jobs frying potatoes and filling sodas do not demand thorough knowledge of the science of caffeinology.

i can only imagine how many frappuchinos your son has to serve at king's island, especially once school is out. we at the crestview hills starbucks have already laid curses upon our blenders and glare viciously at all the bubbly, frappuchino-sucking britney spears-wannabes who come walking in the door...
i would rather serve the soy-135-degree-latte any day.
