    Me: "No. Not at all possible. But...how about we put these two tables together instead?"
    No, I dont think you quite have it yet, T. Too much of the Scoota niceness in that gesture. Not enough of the "keep em guessing" aspect.

    If it was Den he might allow only 5 chairs at the table and then advise them that when he turns the music off, they will have to find a seat.

    The trick here is to do it of an evening and turn the lights off at the same time..

    Den then says - Looser pays as he locks the doors and hits the music and light switch ;D



    Hate to say it Den, but you were never a in the USA with a roll as the Soup Nazi on that crappy comedy show, were you ??

      Who me? Hes my idol! ;D

      I still think my favourite line is when a customer comes to the counter to pay for the coffee they had and I ask if they enjoyed it.

      When they say something along the lines of, "Yes, that was really lovely" I respond with, "OK, if you liked it that much its double the price".

      But Im not all bad. I also help customers with their grooming.

      A female regular came in this morning and I asked if she often wears her hair tied back as it was today. She said that she does sometimes, but today she had used hairspray as well.

      I told her it looked nice.

      I could see her brain ticking over so I said, "Isnt it nice when people notice something different about the way you look", to which she responded, "I was just thinking the same thing. I think Ill use the hairspray more often".

        But have you also complimented the coiffure of your male customers?

        We know the other Dennis. Few on CS have been as generous as you.

          Had a customer today

          Customer "can I have a short black"

          Me "sure"

          Customer "but can you top it up with milk?"

          Me "Um Ok" pause "Um exactly what do you mean?"

          Customer "Well I just bought an instant coffee called short black and I want it made like that!"

          What followed was a quick lesson espresso 101 so she realised that the short black was the base to all normal coffees.

            Does it count if Ive expressed a little envy?

            On another note, why is it that customers who have no trouble using the sliding door on their way in, always want to pull it open on their way out?

              I did recently tell a customer that he had a "Sweet beard". Full on handle bars. Recognise.
