Last Saturday night, Chief was busy… busy packing and wrapping gifts for families, relatives and friends. I met up with Chief at Greenbet 1 where she bought some gift bags at National Book Store.
Later, she wanted to have merienda at Flapjacks. This restaurant in Greenblet holds beautiful memories for Chief and I, as well as my cousins, who were here from the East Coast last June 2008. Photo shows Renelle, Ben and Patrick, and their mom, Tita Nenen, and Cecile and Gil, and Fritzi Pilar.Actually, only she had merienda, which was really a late lunch for her. She had eggs and corned beef. Me? Just waffles but my order of waffles never came as their machine “broke down.”
Chief said that waffles and pancakes was supposedly their “core competency.” And how could that happen? We got a little disappointed as the waitress, Jen, didn’t even bother to inform us that my order would be taking extra long or wouldn’t be served at all. It was until Tom, who had greeted us earlier, advised us that the waffle machine was not working and offered a replacement. Huh? Chief had nearly finished her food.
So, we paid the bill and before we could raise our complaint to the next level, Tom had offered three pancakes for free. Good PR really but they should advice Jen to be a little more sensitive to customers. After all, there were only two couples when we were there and that really is not much work. Maybe, she was rushing out through her shift to get some Xmas shopping done?
I told Tom as we were leaving, “May utang ka sa akin na waffles.” And they greeted us Merry Christmas!
