is the self-appointed Queen of the cafe staff. She’s known to issue herself random raises, and has fired all the staff innumerable times.

  • Prefers KoffeeKlatsch and Guatemala coffees
  • Calvin College, University of Phoenix

Kevin “Tern” Robinson

came to LCRC to learn the coffee business. Unfortunately, he did not complete Carol’s intensive training period, and she was forced to fire him. We wish him well in life, and hope that he doesn’t end up living in a van down by the river.

  • 0.013698 Years, 2008
  • Prefers a Caramel Latte
  • Concorida University

Theresa Wigton

is a Glen Arbor native who wouldn’t think of living anywhere else—for now. She doesn’t pay attention to who is the current Queen, or who fired who first. Rather, Theresa faces each customer with a smile and tends to their every need. We think she should be what every Barista should aspire to become.
