Lessons From Delivering Pizza

An excerpt from Thrillist -

HOW I LEARNED MORE DELIVERING PIZZA THAN I DID IN COLLEGE
 By WIL FULTON

You may think being a delivery boy consists of nothing more than getting stoned and driving around (which I mean, yes it does), but the skill, effort, and knowledge required to deliver any food -- especially pizza -- is vastly underrated by society as a whole. It's an education unto itself. And an experience stuffed with more life lessons than you'd probably find on your average campus.

Starbucks is taking a venti-sized step toward inclusiveness.

The coffee giant announced Thursday that it will open its first U.S. “signing store” to serve the deaf community in Washington, D.C., in October. (There is already a signing Starbucks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.)

The coffee shop will be located at 6th and H streets NE near Gallaudet University, an educational institution for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. The company will hire 20 to 25 deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing individuals to staff the store. All will have to be proficient in American Sign Language.
