Students chipped in to buy a car for a beloved Starbucks barista at West Virginia’s Marshall University campus.
“I kept pushing it off,” said Collinsworth, 65, who has worked for 13 years as a barista and supervisor at a Starbucks in Huntington, W.Va., on the Marshall University campus.
“It just skyrocketed,” said Madelyn Witt, 20, a Starbucks barista in her junior year at Marshall University. “It makes me so happy. She deserves the world.” “Karen always made me smile when I came into Starbucks everyday! She knew my name and my order by heart,” another person wrote. “She really cared about everyone who came through the doors.”“Karen saw me through grad school with a huge smile on her face every day. I hope she knows the impact that her presence made on so many people,” someone else commented.
While she has always enjoyed working at restaurants, Collinsworth said, her job at Starbucks has been the most rewarding.World’s oldest chicken is 21: ‘Peanut loves to sit in my lap and watch TV’“From the moment you come in contact with her, you’re like family,” said Horn. “She treats everyone with so much love.”Horn and her fellow baristas said watching Collinsworth interact with people — including sleep-deprived students in the early morning hours — has been eye-opening.
