Costa Coffee

 

 

I like to give myself a small treat sometime, it can be a cup of coffee at a nice cafe, or a little shopping for things that I've been craving for long time. Just want to be nice to myself. Else who will do?

Costa Coffee is a British multinational coffee house. It has been voted as nation's favourite coffee shops for the third year in a row. Although I am not a British, but it's my favourite coffee shop too! I prefer their coffee if compare with other franchised coffee shop.

Here come one day, I treated myself a medium sized latte at Costa as usual. The cashier is a pretty young lady, and usually is the barista to make the coffee too. As they were having a lot of customers, the pretty young lady went back to the counter and another male barista came to make my order. Here's the conversation:

B: Do you want skimmed milk or whole milk?

Me: Well... anything. (I am very easy going)

B: Ok.

So in order to polish my English, I decided to chat more with him.

Me: So what's the different between skimmed and whole milk? In terms of the taste.

B: Whole milk tastes better. Skimmed milk is not good!

Ya, foods are always better at their original form.

Me: So, this one is skimmed or whole? (Pointed at my coffee)

B: It's 'anything'!

Haha. He is humorous.

If you think the barista is a handsome guy therefore I chat more with him, then you are wrong. He is an origin of India or Bangladesh, middle-age with a little tummy and bald head. Haha, definitely not my cup of tea. But guess what, he is the branch manager! He is very friendly and polite, I always see he chats with customers, just like friends. So I think good manner do really signify the popularity.

After read this, would you like to have a coffee now?

 

 

这篇文是应 whatsapp group 里那群前同事兼现在比较聊得来的朋友的督促下生出来的。用英文写，是因为其中一个帅哥不会看中文。没办法，只好试试用我那不是很厉害的英文，假假写出来。写完了以后，另一位美女心情不是很好，我就写了一篇华语翻译版的来娱乐她。如下：

 

某天我到常去的咖啡厅喝咖啡，一去到竟然给我排长龙！
算了，看在柜台小姐很漂亮的份上。

点了咖啡准备欣赏漂亮的咖啡师为我弄咖啡，突然秃头大肚腩的印度经理竟然杀出来说他帮我弄！好我承认是我太漂亮惹的祸。

我不打算跟他计较，他却和我搭讪：“你要全脂牛奶还是脱脂牛奶？”
我想也不想就跟他说：“随便。”拜托，你是咖啡师耶。
接着他看我没什么兴致和他说话，就乖乖调好我的咖啡了。然后我问他：“那你给我什么牛奶？”他说：“我给你‘随便’。”
我付了钱耶，你竟然这么随便！

算了，我捧着咖啡，找个位子坐了下来，才发现——我的咖啡没有美丽的拉花！和我高贵的气质不相配了啦！

 

完。
