Warming Up

Coffee has been known to be a good body warmer. I guess many can attest to that since my favorite Starbucks branch has been filled to the brim with coffee lovers lately. The Yuletide breeze has been letting its presence felt these past few days, and many people (including myself) are going to the coffee shops more often to sip the chills away.

I had a short chat with the branch manager a few days ago. He said that he’s really finding it hard to serve the customers promptly. I almost seconded him on that sarcastically since I’ve been waiting for my cappuccino for 20 minutes already.

He had with him a few application forms in his hand. He said that he will be hiring 3 more employees for the holidays, and that he’s just waiting for the results of the court and criminal records searches on them.

Until then, I guess I have to settle for instant coffee if I want a quick warmer.
