The door opens at exactly eight o'clock in the morning. I wasn't able to sleep properly last night though. My mind was wandering... thinking of what I am about to witness again today and the following days and so on.
It's not like I hate my job. I do love the four corners of this happy place, I must say. The team is doing great with customer service. The names of our menu make us unique and notable. One of our bestsellers is our cookies and cream smoothie that's named "If You Want Me Come And Get Me". Silly, right?
Guests also keep on posting positive feedbacks on our freedom board that is refreshed weekly. Oh, that reminds me of the post-it stickers. Did Angela forget to buy again? We are running out of supply! Someone should tell her what to do. Why is she becoming unfocused lately? What's wrong with the boss?
The "ding!" sound echoes through the room as the door opens. I always love when it chimes like that. It sounds music to my ears. It also means that we are officially starting another day of business.
Different groups of men and women come rushing in and my eyes are glued at everyone. I take a deep sigh as I start observing their behaviours.
I can see sadness. I can sense brokenness. I can hear wailing hearts. Some celebrate in happiness. In victory. In genuine love.
I shake my head. Today is another day of hearing and witnessing set of heartbreaking and gratifying stories.
And, oh, before I forget. Who am I? My name is Sweet. I'm not really sure if my last name would be Escape but anyway, call me Sweet Escape.
I am a café.
