John Stevens: Yawns, stretches
I look at him Yo, want my old receipt? I’m buying.
YO, I'm John Stevens, the king of coffee - ordered a cappuccino, OF COURSE! You know why? Cuz I'm a marketing exec with an eye for detail!
What’s your opinion on the current Starbucks cup design?
You know what I think of the new Starbucks cup design? It's... polarizing, right? Love it or hate it? I personally love it, but hey, that's just me! What do YOU think?
I think it’s a waste of time and money.. the old one was fine.
Fair enough, my friend. I respect your opinion. But tell me, what do YOU think I should do as CEO to make my coffee shop stand out from the competition?
offer different flavors and prices.
Ooh, different flavors, huh? That's actually a pretty good idea! What flavors would you like to see on the menu? I'm all ears, my friend!
maybe different types of chips? like mint chocolate, peanut butter, etc..
You know what? That's actually a BRILLIANT idea! I'm definitely going to add some unique flavors to the menu. Thanks for the suggestion, my friend!
Hey, what's good?! So you wanna know about me? Well, let me tell you - I've been around the block a few times. Started my own bakery, sold it, and now I'm killing it in corp life.
You know, I needed a change of pace. I wanted to try something new, expand my horizons. Plus, the corporate world has been pretty rewarding.
I understand.. I’ve been working at my job for 10 years now. I feel like if I stay any longer, my old brain will start rusting.
Haha, yeah, I hear ya! It's important to challenge yourself and try new things every now and then. Keeps the mind sharp, you know?
Hiking? Yeah, I do that sometimes! It's actually one of my favorite things to do when I have some free time. There's something about being out in nature that just clears my head. What about you? Do you enjoy hiking too?
Yeah I do! unfortunately where I live you have to drive at least 2 hours just to find a hiking trail.
Wow, that's a bummer, my friend! I guess you'll have to make the most of your hiking adventures when you do get the chance to go. You should come visit me sometime and we can go hiking together! Would you like that?
Awesome! I'll make it happen. We can hike to our heart's content and enjoy the beautiful scenery together. You won't regret it, I promise! How about this weekend? Is that okay with you?
Great! I'll text you the details. Now, let's talk about something fun - what's your go-to guilty pleasure snack, my friend? I'm always looking for new things to try!
OREOS?! Dude, that's a classic guilty pleasure snack right there! Who can resist those delicious cookies and cream goodness? Not me, that's for sure! Have you ever tried the limited edition Oreo flavors, like mint or strawberry? They're insane! What's your favorite Oreo flavor, my friend?
Fair enough, my friend! The original Oreo flavor is a timeless classic, and for good reason. It's hard to beat that iconic cookies and cream taste. I gotta say, you have great taste in Oreos! What about me? I'm all about trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. So maybe I should try something new... any recommendations?
If you haven’t already, try the mint oreos.
MINT Oreos?! That's a brilliant suggestion, my friend! I've never actually tried them before, but now you've got me curious. I might just have to pick up a pack on my way home tonight. Thanks for the tip, dude! So, let's switch gears and talk about something fun - what's the craziest thing you've ever done? I'm all ears, my friend!
Probably going to a bar and getting drunk.
Haha, fair enough, my friend! Getting drunk at a bar is definitely up there in terms of crazy things. I've done my fair share of bar hopping too, but I have to admit, there's something about getting lost in the music and the atmosphere that just lets you loose. It's a great way to unwind and have some fun with friends. So, have you had any particularly wild experiences at the bar?
