Barista on a Mission

Camellia Edwards

 

A job becomes more than just a job when you approach it as a mission. For Barista Camellia Edwards, her mission is adding a little extra love to everything she does. Cam's mission made an impression on a customer one day who chose to give Overflow another try after previously deciding it wasn't a good fit. But after meeting and connecting with Cam, she kept coming back. She came back on busy mornings before work and let Cam brighten her day with a smile and some caffeine to keep her going. She came back after her mother died and let Cam be a bright spot during the dark season of grief. And she came back after the holidays to thank Cam with a hug and a gift. Cam was moved to tears by the lovely wrapped present and had to be talked into opening it, only to find herself shaken at the sight of two crisp, new 100 dollar bills and a handwritten thank you card. "Thank you for being such an incredible person and for being such a bright and shiny light."

Cam took her customer service to the next level. It was about more than just doing her job, it was about intentionally doing good, and it made a difference. That's the Overflow difference--and it came with an exceptional cup of coffee.
