In this Caregiver Spotlight episode meet two long time Starbucks employees who formed a friendship with one of their extra special regulars, John Bozeman. Glo and Tasha share John’s passion for food and have enjoyed many food adventures together over the years. These women have helped John cope with grief, get to medical appointments, and have made sure he’s never without his daily coffee. Warning: you may feel uplifted after listening to this episode and you’ll never look at the folks in your local Starbucks the same.
