A friend suggested I should just go to bakeries and write
about bread, pastries and whatever bakes they sell and the stuff I’ve sampled.
Heck … why not … gives me a good enough reason to eat. And I do like bread.
I’m not here to criticize the quality but more so on the
variety and the service of the places I visit.
You do realize that good service makes the food taste a
whole lot better? Well, it makes a world of a difference to me anyway. Sour
faced waiters and cashiers make everything taste ugh. Why they’re in the
service industry is beyond me …
Bread Story at the new wing of 1Utama … the usual array of
breads, buns and pastries ….
Friend and I picked out a couple of goodies including what I
thought was a banana chocolate muffin ….
it was labelled as such. Ordered a couple of drinks to go with and sat down to
enjoy our pickings. Stabbed into the muffin and out oozed a gooey mass of
blueberry-looking jelly. Hmm …. Banana, chocolate muffin with blueberry goo ….
Okaaay. *scratch head* . Stared at it for a couple of stunned seconds and
decided to ask the manager what that was suppose to be. She said “blueberry
muffin”. Hah!! Labelled wrong. Now the gist of this story is about good PR.
Lady manager apologised, walked off and came back with the correct muffin and
said it’s on the house. Didn’t even take away the blueberry muffin. Well, it
was pretty massacred anyway …
I know that was just a muffin, but in this selfish world
today …. sometimes a small kind gesture makes a world of difference to
someone’s crappy day.
Go ahead. Have a muffin. Have a great day.
