So⦠hereās how this went⦠I had a hat full of names and a volunteer spot I could only give to ONE kid.
Spoiler: per usual I did not stick to my own boundaries š
I drew Gianniās name. And then noticed his sister Gianna had also applied. So naturally, I did the only reasonable thing and offered it to both IF they wanted to mash up their themes and wellā¦
Meet my very first Mini Manager volunteers š
A brother-sister duo who immediately had me smiling ear to ear during our first meeting talking through everything from brainstorming crossover ideas between their themes to laying out logistics for the day.
A few things you should know about my new bosses:
šŖ Gianniās dream cookie for the pop-up should taste like ābirthday cake and love.ā Already on it.
šŖ Gianna had follow-up questions before accepting the role, namely the work-to-fun ratio, whether the job is dangerous, and if thereād be hazard pay. (I respect a girl who reads the fine print.)
šŖ They asked what to do if a customer has an allergy, which turned into a real conversation about food labels and why the info on them matters. These kids are so thoughtful and I know thatās going to shine on pop up day.
šŖThey even thought through logistics, they wanted to know if weād be inside or outside, how much space there was and when we needed to set up, Gianni wishes the pop up was longer but also hopes we sell out!
šŖ They are BOTH extremely ready to work the register. I have been warned and I have a color coded plan to make that simple!
Next up is meeting #2, where they get to taste test the flavors Iām dreaming up for their themes and requested flavor profiles, all the love included!
I promised not to make them try any flops, but Gianna said and I quote āeven if itās meh, let us try it.ā š¤£ So⦠hereās hoping I pass muster.
Turn on reminders and come meet them in person! š

Theyāll be running the show, keeping their tips, and probably keeping you all in awe of their creativity, fabulous jokes and all around sweetness. Come say hi. š
