Staff Spotlight: CHLOE 💫

{continued}

The greatest challenge that Chloe has had to overcome, so far, in life is knowing when to walk away from things that don’t benefit/serve her. Some fears that she named were her hatred of spiders and clowns and, a fear of the dark when she was little. It sure that she hates is taking out the trash. (Sorry, Chloe, but you will most likely be asked to to do this often enough at the store. Lol.)

One of Chloe’s favorite life experiences, thus far, was seeing Niagara Falls for the first time when she was younger. She loves experiencing new things all the time.

Chloe, we hope working at the store proves to be a positive experience for you. We are enjoying getting to know you, and we thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life in this way. Hope the start of your senior year is wonderful!

Staff Spotlight: CHLOE 💫

Chloe recently joined our team, and you will most likely find her in the front of the house offering excellent customer service. She has already had experience with hostessing as well. This is Chloe’s first job, and she is already doing a great job!

Chloe is a senior this year at Seton LaSalle. She has been a member of national honors English Society for two years, and has also been involved with SADD for one year now.

Chloe lives with her mom and dad, brother, and sister. (you will probably recognize her sister as Ana, who is also on our team.)
Her family has four dogs, two cats, and a fish.

Chloe’s “happy place” is being with her friends, family, and boyfriend - doing anything to spend time with them. Activities that she enjoys our sports, shopping, traveling, and sightseeing. If Chloe had to choose three nonliving things to rescue in a house fire, she would choose her Coach sw***er crystal jacquard bag, her dried flowers, and her memory box/pictures. If she could spend a day with anyone, living or dead, she would choose it to be Princess Diana.

When Chloe was a kid, she dreamed of being a restaurant/bakery owner. Her current goal is to be extremely successful in her future job, whatever that might be. As far as her bucket list, it would include a visit to Europe (exploring most of it), skydiving, and buying a house on Marco Island (or in Charleston). Two of her favorite sayings are, “If not now then when?” and “The water doesn’t get warmer if you jump later.”

Three words that might describe her well are “ thoughtful, organized, and good listener”. In fact, when asked what is something that might surprise people about her, she said that she can listen/be observant and then give good advice.

One skill that Chloe would love to learn would be to bake from scratch. As far as food goes, she most loves steak and tiramisu, & hates cherry tomatoes. Luxury that she “could not live without” is her music subscription. Chloe loves all types of music. When it comes to movies, she loves any 2000’s romcoms like “27 Dresses”, “Catch and Release”, and “The Wedding Planner”.

Staff Spotlight: JOE 💫

We happily welcome Joe to our team! Joe lives with his wife Iris, their daughter Sammi, & their pet cat. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒🐈

Joe came to us with restaurant experience; in fact, his very first job was working as a busboy. 🍽️We appreciate that Joe is super flexible and always willing to take on any role here -from customer service to food prep to sometimes bussing those tables on busy breakfast days. . . One of the "weirdest things (he's) ever done" is to "help (his) elderly uncle who is a hoarder". (That can be quite the task, even for someone who is not easily rustled.) 🗑️

When asked to choose three words that describe himself, Joe chose "quiet, hardworking, and even-keeled". Joe is definitely pleasant, hardworking, and more than willing to be a help to others. . . Joe's "happy place" is his home. ❤️ Some activities he most enjoys doing are traveling (as we can see in his pics, they love the outdoors/excursions) and napping (lol; much-needed after working hard or traveling). 🏔️✈️🧳

Joe & Iris started feeding their passion for travel as newlyweds as they got married in Hawaii. 🌺Joe's "bucket list" includes a visit to Alaska 🛳️ and a visit to the English countryside & Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Joe would love to learn to speak foreign languages someday.

One of Joe's favorite life experiences was holding his daughter for the first time.🫄When Joe was a child, he dreamed of being an architect someday. 🏛️ In adult life, it seems he's busy building memories with his family & helping others; a life well-lived. If he could spend a day with anyone, living or dead, he would choose a day with Martin Luther King, Jr.

Joe's favorite movie is "Rudy" and his favorite type of music is classic rock. 🎸 His favorite food is ziti and favorite dessert is "anything Oreo". His only fear named was that of being alone. A goal/dream he has for himself is "to retire healthy and happy".

We are thankful that you chose to work alongside us, Joe, before hitting those retirement years. . . Joe says he enjoys the "flexibility & teamwork" of TCS. We love having Joe here and are thankful that our staff & community are able to get to know him a little better this way!
