One thing about Starbucks is that Starbucks really values their partners.
Today we are going to Kerry Park.
Yes we are going to Kerry Park.
So friends today we are going to see real Seattle.
And today the weather of Seattle is appropriate.
Mostly you'll see this kind of a weather in Seattle, cloudy with light rainfall.
She and I don't like this kind of a weather. I actually don't like it because I love the sun.
Uber has started a new thing that Uber
has Uber green option. With this, you'll get a Hybrid Car at least,
electric plus petrol. So we have booked that.
This is the hybrid car. Uber Green.
So I think Uber Green is only in Seattle.
So is your car hybrid? Yes.
How many miles it gives you on electric?
45 miles per gallon.
per gallon wow!
So it has like regenerative, it charges while you drive. Yes.
That's pretty impressive.
And 75% of apartments here don't have AC's i.e. there is no cooling here.
Because of this last year, due to heat wave
around 95 people died in the state of Washington.
You can see the entire city from here. Really beautiful view.
I wish today was a sunny day as well. So I have done some research, whatever you see from that Space Needle
that's like worth 50$.
It's really epic like New York.
I thought it's not worth it.
But this is like free Seattle
So you can enjoy this view for free. This is more pretty.
Also I think this is the first time I wore a jacket in July.
It's chilly. Yeah. it is cold.
And houses near the Kerry Park. This is like the top of Seattle City.
The houses here are much better than Silicon Valley.
Sates tax isn't deducted from your salary. You're able to save more.
You can afford house easily. Not easily, easier as compared to California.
Yeah I thought, it might be really bad.
It feels like we'll actually fall because it's so high, up the mounting.
Electric bikes that you can rent here.
It's a two way ticket. So we got two tickets for 615.
It's called monorail because it's on the one rail on the ground.
No two sides. Only one side.
There's only one rail underneath. Tyres are on the one rail only.
There are no tyres.
It's on cables.
And no driver.
Now finally. This is actually a farmer's market.
We have been to several farmer's market but this is very special because
people of Seattle are extra health conscious here.
Double labels are there. Non-GMO, vegan, extra labels are present. Beyond you can think.
Let's checkout.
The fish here is quite expensive. 20$ for this bowl.
Is it cooked or raw?
Here is the world famous fish shop. It is also known as flying fish market.
Organic Ice Cold Apple Cider.
You may have seen Apple Cider Ads but what is it?
Is this the part of your childhood?
This is the part of my TV ads.
This market is full of culture. So this is Le Panier, a French Bakery
And it means the Basket.
Very interesting.
So now we are entering the world's first Starbucks.
So friends, from Pike Market, the world's most famous farmers market,
we have reached to world's first Starbucks. Actually it's not world's first Starbucks coffee shop.
It's a gimmick. So you want to explain.
So they converted a beans shop into a coffee shop to make it a tourist location.
The coffee here will be the same. But the difference is you are going to get a fancy cup,
labelled as first coffee shop.
Next to coffee shop, there is a Indian Pakistani grocery store as well.
And behind the market you can see a cruise ship which goes to Alaska.
So we are here at Starbucks Reserve. We first saw first Starbucks in the world,
from where they started selling beans.
Now meeting a consultant at Starbucks.
Hi. Can you please introduce yourself?
Yeah sure. My name is Satya. And I work with Starbucks.
I'm doing my internship here with Starbucks,
but I go to Washington University in St Louis and from India. It's been lovely here and
seeing Harnoor walk down the street, I was like. It was fantastic.
Awesome. So you're consulting intern here? Yeah.
So what's your major by the way?
I'm studying MBA. I didn't take any major but general management and
I'm taking mostly classes in entrepreneurship and marketing.
So it's WashU. right?
WashU yeah. WashU is so famous for MBA. It's like top 20 in the country.
As a consultant is so I can tell you about the
workplace in Starbucks. So one thing about Starbucks is that Starbucks
really values their partners.
So the employees, they call them partners and this is
really lively when you work there and maybe even
if you are working as you can see that you
can see how the company really value you and your
family and your well-being and I think Starbucks is the
most, the one company that spends the most on
medical insurance in the USA. Wow! Pretty impressive. Awesome.
And what part of India are you from? I'm from the North-East India.
Awesome. Thank you so much. Very nice meeting you.
This side is the drinks section and that's the bakery.
It's quite big, Starbucks Reserve. Quite special as compared to the first Starbucks.
Columbia.
So the process starts from here. Green beans start from there and then go to the
reserve to become drinkable coffee.
Friends meet my colleague from NCR, Hitesh. Hitesh was
my mentor . I learned a lot from him as a software
engineer. Thank you so much for meeting me
and now he works for Amazon. Any advice for all the students who also want
to work in Amazon. Yeah. I'm working as an SDE at Amazon
and I used to work with Harnoor
at NCR. We worked for two years and I would like to say for Amazon
if you just want to get interview, just keep interviewing
and ask you recruiter as many questions as you can
before your interview, like what kind of problems you will
get like what kind of like
what kind of questions you can think of. So that you can
prepare questions according to them. Awesome. Thank you so much Hitesh.
These are the beans of coffee and I think that's where they take it to
get roast.
