I actually don't know. I was working with my manager, though, and she didn't do a thing. In her defense, it was really busy at the time and maybe she didn't want to deal with it because we had ten other customers at the time. We're located in a grocery store, so we have to follow both Starbucks and the store's policies.
I had been looking for jobs all summer and I didn't really want this one, but they asked me for an interview and right after told me I got the job. I accepted because I didn't know when the next offer would be and if I want to start college next year, I felt like I had to take what I could get. I'm wondering how long I have to stay until I can leave and not have it look like I'm a job hopper.

It's where you drink gin & tonics like a fancy dude.

Who does?
I went through school intending to read medicine, and chose my uni/college on that basis. But I was persuaded to read Physics instead, which I swapped for Engineering Science after a term - this course included an optional module on computing. Then I got involved with a friend who built (pipe-)organs, did some with him, and tried to get into that as a career - couldn't because of union rules on apprenticeship (it was entirely a closed shop at that time, and even the owner of the largest organ firm in the country couldn't get round it for me). So I got involved with sound recording, and actually joined the BBC when I left uni. However, for reasons too complex to list here, I left and got into computer programming after a couple of years.
Now I still run computers, but in a medical context; and my main hobby is recording - especially pipe organs! As John Lennon wrote in one of his songs: Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Yeah, as I said, that's what I do all year anyway. My (poorly worded) question was more concerned with the fact of that being a special season.
Inlander:
You cannot drink gin & tonic in winter. It's just not done. Gin & tonic is all about long summer evenings, reading a book, chatting to the neighbours, and enjoying all the fruits of empire.
Um . . .
No, not that last bit. Hmm.
