Perfect coffee

Ok, so on Tuesdays and Thursdays I come into our office earlier and do some "office hours" before I start any English sessions.

There is a coffee shop right around the corner where I usually get a coffee to-go (which is rare to find here and they call it TAKE-AWAY lol) and head on over to the office. I started doing this for a while now, and the two girls who work there know that I always want my coffee to go. I found out that they are sisters and they work on different days.

The to-go cups are the plastic cups that you would use on regular cold drinks and are small, which is sad because last year, they had the thermo-cups... maybe the economic crisis had to do something with the change lol. So after burning my hand couple times, I figured I'd take in my Starbucks tumbler to see if they'd put my coffee in there.

They did, but I get charged for a double coffee but it's ok because I really like their coffee there.

One sister, I'm going to call her Brown hair, is the one that I see more often. She knows the exact measurements of my tumbler and gives me the perfect coffee. She knows I like 3 packs of cube sugars and that I need a big table spoon to stir it in. She even talks to me and knows where I work and she makes the perfect coffee.

The other sister, I'm going to call her Blonde hair, is also very nice! However, her coffee is not as perfect, but she never hesitates or makes rude comments whenever I ask her to put in some more milk or something like that. She always gives me a smile and asks me if I need anything else.

I also found out that this other coffee shop on the other side of our office also does coffee to-go, and they have real to-go thermo cups, but I decided to stick with the sisters. The man at the other shop (who I found out to be the owner) speaks to me in English and is also nice~

Point of this blog: It's just really nice that there are people here who give customer service and aren't rude like other servers around other bars... And that I can drink the perfect cup, I mean tumbler of coffee while in the office. I hope that in my remaining time here, I'll get to talk to the sisters more often.
