“We don’t have dogs in here.”
“Oh.”
The ‘customer’ started to walk away…
The young, and obviously clever, barista responded, “Would you like me to bring your coffee to you out here?”
“Sure.” The customer was smiling now… and the dog was happy, too, I presume.
Problem solved. Fabulous customer service.
We need more of that everywhere–including in schools.
And sometimes, it’s not even that hard!
