The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves, The City cent
I would like to praise the staffs from the
establishment. Held Qatar Living Mums Coffee Morning with some of the ladies
from mum's group.
I am the first one who turned up (as usual I am always on time:-)) , paid
for my drink and when I want to sit down I saw a guy lighting his cigarette.
I told one of the waiter ... and I ask him if he is going to let him light
the cigarette in the cafe, then I will peel off all the non-smoking sign
around the cafe from the wall!!!!. The waiter said somethin in tagalog
to his colleague and then he said he will ask the customer to put off his
cigarette. And he did.
An hour later ... there were about 10 of us. With ofcourse some kids around.
Another guy 'innocently' sat on the next table and start lighting
his cigarette. I asked another waiter to ask him to put off his cigarette.
And the waiter did it, went there and told that smoker to put the cigarette
out, pointing out the non smoking sign. I am actually surprise with the
waiter attitude in Coffee Bean. Very impressive indeed .
I made the same complaint in Starbucks Villagio landmark and the staffs
there just shrugged their shoulder and asking me to filled up the comment/complaint
form. Yeah ... did that million times before.
If anyone of you out there involve in running this establishment ... pls
rewards your staffs for doing such a good work.
this schoolteacher is outta control she needs to calm down.....
life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......
"Novita.Stand up on the bench. Didn’t I tell you to brief the other
students about the class meeting in citicenter?Then you can write an
essay on the kindness, generosity and doing lawful activities of the
Citicenter canteen staff. First things first…Understand.. "
----> Yes Mam !
God knows what I have smoked in all these years. some stuff I dont even remember. Just remember getting up in the ER. All those highway styff didnt kill me so how will a little smoke from a cigarette will kill me. Anyways its a good thing that you are standing up for your right. Yeah kids should not inhale the secondary smoke. Lets pray that the remember their mother's crusade against the smokers and dont turn out to be smokers themselves

Its nice to hear that some shops actually care about customer service enough to enforce the law of the land. For me with asthma its life threatening to be around smokers not just an inconvenience. We should all give these stores more business for doing the right thing. Its shameful of people to break laws they know are in place what does that say about their manners?
It amazes me how quickly people light up in public places like that. Where i come from the whole idea of "no smoking" is that you actually don't, y'know, smoke. At all.
Nothing upsets me more than sitting down with a good cup of cofffee or a meal (or even in a cinema) and having some selfish so snd so light up. Kudos to you for having the courage to even ask the staff to sort it out!
Oh, that place...
and their cheesecake....mmmmmmm mmmmmmm
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
i faced the same case yesterday in LANTORE.
If i can i will send all smokers to very far island.
Weekdays Novita, if in the morning, i hope today would not be the same as on you next meeting, i would be free for until 10:30, i have to be home at 11 AM to prepare the kids lunch and at 1PM, i have to leave for work. I have a job from 2-7Pm.

i love going shopping there in the weekdays CityGal ... but my timing very limited. By 11.30am i have to get ready to took off for school pick up.
Parking also easier (not if thats matter for you since you dont driver yet) in weekdays morning.
primadonna is also QLer. You r absolutely right. They r very nice and pleasant and you of cause...lol.
Primadonna n me too busy shopping n don't realise the time..he..he... I was amaze on how empty CityCtr during weekday.
lol City Gal ... actually if you notice only me, you, spicemom, mila from the group. The rest were my girlfriends from outside QL. But not big deal isnt it ... make friend with anyone.
I didn't notice you have been doing this all the time we were there. Heads up to you.
The meeting was lovely. I don't mind to joint you and the group again n again n again. just tell me when.
why cant you come on weekdays Mariam? Frid Sat reserve for family day usually and not many people would be able to make it.
That's great, but i hope it will be Friday or saturday if it's lunch...
"There's nothing we can do to change the past, if it teaches you a lesson profit from it then, forget it."
No problem Mariam, there would be next time. Was thinking to do the next one for lunch in Bennigan's since kids will have easter holiday.
Looking forward to see you
First of all, my apology, for not coming, i said i will, but my tight time for alot of things to finish like, gone to immigration for my maids, visa, went to insurance to do the documents for my daughters car, had someone break her bumper at the college parking yesterday, then i had my meeting with HR , i will be working, so sorry, unbelievable but i was not able to join you since i really like to meet the Mums group and to introduce to your kids my only son who is 5 years old. I hope there would be next time and by that time , we can do it.
The no smoking sign should be followed strickly...good work Novita!

I'm quite a regular too in this Coffee Bean. The staff there are very friendly and what you wrote here, really shows that they do care of their customers..

I'm glad to hear of a like-minded person, not afraid to speak up and right a wrong. Maybe there is hope for this country after all. Keep it up and I will too. Maybe if a few others join us as well people will get the idea and at least think twice before lighting up and ignoring their own laws.
i know ... that little Paul so cute isnt he? lol
kudos to you Novita to have such attitude and hope others will follow your step too. and thanks for today. sorry dont get a change to talk much as spicemom and paul keep me busy. hehehehe... oh paul you are so famous here.. many time your name been called out. LOL
