CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK ...hee hee

Jehovah really blesses in the most unexpected ways.

Amanda and i frequent starbucks when we do early morning ministry. We are starting to cut back as its very expensive but when we can, and for a while we are there 3 times a week at roughly 8am.

Now and again id seen signs for CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK ! They would have the persons name and a little blurb about them, saying how much of a nice customer they are.. I was like, oohh that would be so cool, to be a regular customer and have the staff know your drink and you enough so that they make you customer of the week.

I had been joking with Amanda for months how i wanted to be customer of the week. Slowly over time the staff got to know us, our names and our drinks. It feels really nice when someone remembers you. You walk in and you hear, hey Emily how are you? Can i get your Latte ready for you?.. It sounds silly but its actully a really nice feeling, and it keeps you coming back, becuase they know your drink and make it the way you like it.. "a place were every body knows your name"..

Well one day i decided to take matters into my own hands and thought it would be nice for Amanda to see her name up there. I know it feels good to have someone know who you are and remmeber you enough so that you are given an honoury mention.. See Amanda and i are not overly outgoing and im not very good at beine preppy and happy, as those that know me well can testify too. So i reckoned positive action was needed. Amanda has been such a good friend to me i was hoping this little gesture would let her know how valued she is.

I popped a note into thier suggestion box and asked if i could nominate Amanda as customer of the week, and told them why she would be a great candidate. She LOVES starbucks.. Its really because of her we even come 3 times a week, She is one of the most important people in mylife here and is one of the top 5 who have been integral to my settling down in Placerville. Coming to Starbucks is "our" thing.. We have a chin wag and our Frapps. She is just awesome..
I wasn't even sure that they allowed customers to nominate, but who dares wins.. as Derek Trotter would say

!


Tuesday morning as usual we walk in and que up for our coffees... I see the sign and go bright red... HAHAH oh my gosh... there are our names for all to see... They decided to have us both as customer of the week and guess what i find out!!! It means we have FREE COFFEE too. I had no idea i just thought you have your name up for a bit.. WOAH...! how cool is that.

Sue and her daughter made the very awesome sign for us. They did a great job and i wanna thank them and the whole Broadway staff for being so cool. They are a great bunch of people and we really enjoying getting our coffee from them
