*sets a freshly brewed cup of coffee before the lady**whacks Podolak with her umbrella for good measure*
"There, my good man, I apologize for the sharp reprimand, but I have been sitting here hours waiting for my hot coffee! Although we have come far in our century with horse and carriage, we do not have wide thoroughfares with rapid transport to take us great distances! In such isolation, I must rely on your establishment for food, drink and comfort from the elements."
*tosses her red hair, glowing in the firelight, and fingers her umbrella once again*
I hear making a lady wait is a mortal sin. Making customers wait is never good for business. Please accept my most sincere apologies.
*goes back to getting things ready for the day*
Hot menu today all, eggs, ham, sausage, bacon and soy bacon. Let me know your desire and I'll get it cooked up. There is a fresh pot of coffee and hot water ready to go for tea too.
Have a great one all.
