Jason
Rockville
MarylandHello, I'm Jody!  Welcome to American Cafe!
Now we're here with Jason who works at a cafe.  And we're to talk to him about what he sees in the Cafe culture in American.
My name is Jason and we are in Rockville, Maryland, which is a suburb of Washington, D.C. - the nation's capital actually.
So, Jason, what do you see people doing when they come into this cafe?
There are all sorts of things.  We have people that just come in get a cup of coffee and go.  We have people that, that linger and talk.  Some that read and do crossword puzzles, read books.  It's really a wide, wide ... portrait of the community.  It's all different kinds of people really.  But it gives people vibrancy, friendship, and community.  It's a local outreach.  It's many many different things to many people.
The atmosphere is so important.  It's just a great place to hang out.  Jason explains that he's only worked here two months after leaving a high-stress consulting job.  Let's hear about the reason why he chose to work at a cafe over a high paying, high stress job.
You know, I've actually only worked here about two and a half months.  And for about 15 years I worked in a very high stress consulting environment.  And decided to make a change to specifically come into a cafe atmosphere.  You know, while I don't make as much money as I once did, my quality of life and happiness level have certainly increased exponentially.
"Regulars" are people who come everyday or sometimes many times a day.  Again, here's Jason.
Oh, ab...absolutely!  One of the joys of working here is getting to know people.  And we have people that come in daily and sometimes multiple times a day.  So, it's very fun.  It's more than a place to come and get a drink and a muffin.  It really is community-oriented in many ways and...and person-oriented.  It's more personable than a normal commerce situation.
