At Starbucks, he learned how to make some drinks by the employees in the California branch. They made a poster for the congressman welcoming him to the team.
I also did an #InYourShoes visit today at the @Starbucks in Dublin’s @PersimmonPlace for some barista basic training.☕️☕️☕️ pic.twitter.com/y3UJ808LeN
