It's one of my favourite pastimes, and this was what I saw yesterday morning. Time: 11:14 Date: 21/8/04 Venue: Coffee Bean, One Utama Family #1 Family of 5 - husband, wife, two kids and maid As soon as they arrived and even before they were seated, the older of the two kids started bawling. I have no idea why. No one scolded her; she just decided to make her presence heard. Much later, I heard the husband ask the maid: Awak nak kopi? Kalau tak nak, ada air di sana (You want coffee? If not, there's water over there). This was after he'd ordered and all the food had arrived and on the table. Why didn't he ask at the time when he was ordering the food? Or was it an after-thought? Probably. Family #2 Family of 5 - husband, wife, two kids and grandmother The wife has that unhappy, unsatisfied look on her face. In hindsight, I'd say her face had a really pissed-off look on it. The husband took forever to order, let other customers go ahead before him a couple of times. When the food arrived, the wife started complaining and asked to see the manager. Apparently, they'd ordered a side item of toast for the elder kid. She claimed at a Penang CB outlet, they got five slices of toast, but here, there were only four. She also complained the bread was sliced too thin. When the manager arrived, unhappy wife proceeded to tell about what they got at the Penang CB outlet, but added that it was also at other CB outlets, too. She also mentioned how thin the bread was sliced. The manager took the food back, supposedly to give them what they want, I guess. Meanwhile, unhappy wife was telling the son - don't use your fingers, use the fork ... you don't put salt on your bread ... I looked at her and she just looked so unhappy. Yeah, like the world owes her something. Pissed-off face. I secretly hoped the manager spat on her toast and unhappy wife choked on her food. Well, not really ... that would be mean. Don't mind me, I'm just venting. |
