Marsha has been an employee with Morrison for nine years. Marsha works in the Java Coast Coffee
Shop in the main lobby of Bethesda North. Marsha realizes the importance of not just selling a cup
of coffee, but giving the guests of not just our coffee shop, but of the hospital, a moment where they
can escape the reason for which they are here. Marsha doesnt serve cups of coffee, she creates
friendships with the people who we are lucky to have visit Java Coast. Marsha thinks of the coffee
shop as my baby, as she always states. She wants not only the coffee shop to be successful, but
the rest of her coworkers as well, as she tries every day to give tips and pointers to them. She
never tells anyone No, no matter what the request is. If a guest asks for something that we may
not have, Marsha always recommends something that will come close to what the guests were
looking for initially, and they always walk away with a smile on their face. Her Can-Do attitude
never allows her to let anyone walk away with an empty hand or without a smile.
Marsha continues to fnd ways to keep her sales up and helps make the coffee shop proftable.
From asking to bring in different kinds of products to try out, to knowing what products dont work,
Marsha is always focused on her baby, even when being out for medical leave! She was always
calling and keeping in contact with not only the manager, but with her coworkers as well to see how
the coffee shop was running in her absence. Day in and day out, Marsha leads by example when
it comes to the Compass Group Values and Guiding Principles. Ive never met an employee who
doesnt just clock in every day, but LOVES being at work! Its not all about making money to Marsha,
as it is making someone smile and making a friend, one cup of coffee at a time!
