Bit OT, but I've somewhat always had a desire to work in a software developer role at Starbucks because I drink a lot of their coffee and i like how they seem to treat their regular partners (in an externally facing role, not internal IT). I'm not searching for a new position now, but can I ask what you didn't like there?
Circa 1992, during the first hyper growth period. I was in Store Planning, a particularly stressful, dysfunctional group. I know many others who've had great jobs, careers there. I was just unlucky, immature, naive, etc.
