Customer Service Week kicked off with the most recent past decade. Remember the early 2000’s?
Velour track suits, trucker hats, and tattoo necklaces all made a comeback on Monday. We played music from the decade and teams turned in their answers to decade-themed trivia questions. Do you remember which store Winona Ryder shoplifted from?
Talk to the Hand!
On Tuesday, we celebrated the 1990’s with a bake off! Teams earned extra points if the treats were somehow 90’s themed. Anjelica took home the prize for her “You’re Killin’ Me, S’mores” s’mores cookie bars. The well-deserved honorable mentions? Julia’s crème pies, Diane’s frosted animal cracker cake and Carlos’ cheesecake “pizza” bites. It was a deliciously fun day!
Check out some of the photos in the gallery below.
90's Day and Bake Off
Is that the cast of The Breakfast Club? No, it’s the Cushing team!
We had a ton of fun celebrating the 80’s. Big hair, neon and leggings ruled the day. Teams participated in decade trivia and played name that tune (song from Madonna, Michael Jackson and David Bowie played over the loudspeaker throughout the day). It was like, a totally fun day.
