Get to know your barista 💛

AB is our new Kitchen Tech at The aMPersand! He has been here for almost a month. He is always ready to learn new things and try things he has never done before. Alex is intentional to always say hello and remember your name when you see him. He will always ask you how you are doing with a big smile on his face.

&&&

We asked AB what is something that he has grown in since working at The aMPersand. He told us, “I have learned that even when things mess up, you keep moving forward.”

Thank you, AB, for always being so intentional to ask people how they are doing and make them feel seen and valued. 💛
