Thank God for coffee shops with wi-fi!
Whenever I go out on meetings, I would normally ask the other person if we can meet in a coffee shop that offers free wi-fi connection. I would normally do this so I can work after the meeting.
I had a very funny and unforgettable experience yesterday in one of those mom and pop coffee shops inside a mall. The coffee shop was relatively small, around 100sqm and there were only five customers at that time including me.
There were two employees that manned the store. They made the drinks, served the customers and manned the cash register.
Since there were only a few customers one of them decided to eat; while the other one stayed… However, after a few minutes this girl (let’s call her Brenda) who remained to man the store fell asleep.
A customer came in. She tried to wake up Brenda and this is what happened:
Customer: Miss… Uhm, miss… Miss?
She then taps the cash register….
Customer: Miss…
Then she goes to look at the chiller which shows all the pastries and cakes and taps it with her keys… Still nothing…
Customer: Miss! (She raises her voice.)… Miss (touches Brenda by the shoulder)
By this time, we were all laughing…
Then the customer addresses us: When Brenda wakes up, I will treat her to a cup of double espresso!
As she walks toward the door to leave the store Brenda wakes up then shouts: Mam! What will you get?
By this time, we were all laughing!
Customer: Give me one Iced Mocha and a cup of double espresso for you!
We were all laughing at what happened inside the store.
But if you were the owner, will you be happy? What will you do?
