CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
There's a Starbucks coffee shop on almost every other block in Chicago, and a number of baristas behind each counter creating those drinks coffee-lovers buy every day.
Good Day Chicago learned what being a barista is like Patrick's People and Places Monday, At the Starbucks on Rush and Oak. We learned how tough it is, but also how rewarding it can be.
Good Day also took part in a small pay it forward session Monday morning, giving away free coffees downtown. It may inspire you to give a little this week too.
