An F&B Letter
Dear Mr. J,
I am writing this letter to you (though it's 100% you won't come across this) just to let you know that you inspired me today.
You may not know it but your attitude in serving my mom and dad puts me to shame when I think of how I behaved in certain situations.
I saw you coming in for work in the morning at about 10 something when I dropped off some keys at one of our company's outlet. Then, again at dinner time 8-ish when my parents wanted to eat at where you were working. I would assume that by that time, you would have been working for 10 hours plus.
Dealing with customers ain't easy, especially when you get my mom and dad. You asked them seats for how many pax, my dad said, "Five.", my mom said, "Four."
You got confused as only my parents were in the line, my sister and I had wandered off. You looked at my dad then at my mom. Instead of being rude or impatient like how some people are, you were actually cheeky.
You said, "Five, including me is it?" With a smile, of course.
Too bad I wasn't there when this exchange took place, I would have appreciated this a lot. My mom was definitely impressed and she can be a fussy customer at times.
So, yes, Mr. J. You have unknowingly inspired me. After a long day of work, you were still that good. Thumbs up to you, sir. Salute. Maybe one day, five, would include you too... I'm just kidding.
Yours sincerely,
Kath.
