Hospitality Crush

view from the other side of the counter :)

How’s my day you ask?

Working in a cafe
Sometimes people are mistaken
It’s all very easy
To make coffee and cook bacon
They forget the early rises
The standing on yours feet
The happy face you pull all day
For the people that you greet
They forget sometimes their manners
They leave them right behind
Tell you what you’ve done wrong
For you they don’t care or mind
Some people think it’s easy
Hospiltality seems an easy task
Their meetings last for hours
Whereas meetings we do not ask

You know we really love you
And your quirky little ways
We like to get to know our customers
From day to day to day
We care for you and your beings
For that’s why we are here
To make your day more jolly
To release you from your fears
If we did not love humans
We would be cranky little poo’s
Instead we bubble over with real love
Cos it’s hospitality that we choose
You see it’s not always so simple
Bringing light into your day
We do it cos we love you
In each and every way
In return from you
We have nothing to redeem
Just for you to walk away smiling
And feeling happier than you’ve been

That's a very positive way to look at things...sending your customers away, happier than they were....

I'm amazed at how you take an ordinary working person, doing an ordinary job and delve into their head and soul and bring out a wealth of noble feelings.
you tell it like you're singing it. very nice indeed.

I have worked in food service and retail and I know where you all about this situation…. trying to put on a happy face isn't always easy, and faking it just makes the bad mood fester till you go offf like a time bomb on an unsuspecting person.

I generally don't have to fake it as I can honestly say I do love people and their quirky uniqueness ... I am very fortunate I get to do what I love :)

It is a true gift when you get to do what you love, glad to hear you cherish it.
