The owner of a coffee shop in Manhattan, New York, took his employees on holiday for a day, and the old neighbors came to help with the business. Why does the boss trust the store to the neighbors? And why do these neighbors come here?

At a coffee shop in Hudson Heights, waiters showed up with 12 different faces on Thursday alone, with professional backgrounds ranging from stage actors to drugstore employees. What's going on? It turned out that Sarina Prabasi, the owner, took five store employees to the seaside to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the store, leaving the store to the old neighbors to manage before leaving. The novel idea of "asking neighbors to help" was put forward to the boss by Ms. Melody Morrow, a regular customer. When the shopkeeper talked to her, he said that he wanted to take his staff on a trip, but the rent of the shop was high and there would be a loss when it was closed for a day. Molo volunteered to the shopkeeper and said the neighbors would be interested in helping to open the store.

So the shopkeeper set up a volunteer registration website on the Internet, allowing everyone to help according to their appropriate time, with a minimum of one hour's work. In the end, too many people signed up, so they had to stop as soon as possible and recruit 12 "temporary waiters".

Jennifer Holst, a neighbor who came to help, said that she started work in the afternoon and heard that there were fewer guests in the afternoon than during the morning rush hour. The people on duty in the morning said that there were a lot of people at noon, even so.

"I can come because I love this place, live in this community, and have been here for a long time." Paul de Beoy, who is also an actor and has to add the title of temporary "employee" to the day, said: "I am from 4pm to 6pm, mainly to help, make coffee, collect money and help customers." The customers are very friendly. They know that our staff went to the seaside today. It's fun to work here and it feels like giving back to the community. "

In addition to offering Ethiopian organic coffee, lattes and snacks, the shop also displays works by artists from all over the world, making it a semi-gallery-style gathering place. On that day, there were many regular customers in the shop, and they greeted each other cordially and chatted at the same time, which had the flavor of an American town.
