Whats good about it?
The people I work with, really,
And the people you get to meet.
They come from all over everywhere
Not just England,
Tourists from America, France, Japan
Most speak English,
If not they point!
I speak a little bit of French and German
Yes. I use it little bits,
But pointing works well. Ive worked here for round about
Eighteen months,
Part-time, after school.
I know all the regulars,
Saturdays and Sundays.
One couple, every
Sunday afternoon,
Two cappuccinos
They didnt have to ask. Youre always around people
So you need to enjoy them.
Sometimes they say
That was a really nice meal
You can tell by their faces
Theyre not just saying it,
You know they mean it
And that, to me,
Means Ive done my job well. Kayleigh,student in coffee shop, working
