Being A Loyal Customer

They are always warm. That’s why I am a loyal customer of their shop, I think.

During my lunch time, I want to get sunshine to feel refreshed, so that I usually go outside and take a little walk even though I can take a break in the office. Recently, I often go to Starbucks or Tully’s which is located near my office. I go there because I like their coffee, but the biggest reason is the staff make me feel like going there. I enjoy chatting with them over the counter. Since I became a frequent customer, some of them even come over to me to say just hello. It is very nice of them to remember me!

Today, I got a little surprise when I went to the café as usual. I was studying and staying up late last night, so I might have looked tired. One of the staff noticed it and told me my eyes were red. (God, did I look so tied!? Not good…) And can you guess what happened? I found a message on the latte I ordered! It said “GA N BA RE”, which means “Do your best!” in English. They made it so special, though they did not know why I was tired. They gave me such a sweet gift.

Thank you so much for cheering me up! I will go to the cafe again.
