 1 Kids' Cafe — Basic Story

Every morning, kids from a local high school are working hard. They are making and selling special coffee at a
coffee café. They are also making a lot of money.
These students can make up to twelve hundred dollars a day. They are selling their special coffee to airplane
passengers. After the students get paid, the rest of the money goes to helping a local youth project.
These high school students use a place in the Oakland airport. It is usually very crowded. Many people who fly
on the planes like to drink the special coffee.
One customer thinks that the coffee costs a lot but it is good and worth it. Most customers are pleasant but some
are unhappy. They do not like it if the coffee café is not open for business.
The students earn $6.10 an hour plus tips. They also get school credit while they learn how to run a business.
Many of the students enjoy the work although it took some time to learn how to do it.
They will have to learn how to steam milk, load the pots, and add flavor. It takes some skill and sometimes
mistakes are made. The most common mistake is forgetting to add the coffee.
