it's true. i've waited for this day for a long time.. and now it's come.
as of next week i will be "Customer Of The Week" which means they'll have my picture up at the coffee shop (which they took today) and that i will get free coffee for that entire week! (not sure if this is an all day thing or one coffee a day)..
if you'd like to stop by and admire my picture, it will be at Peet's Coffe in Santa Monica (the one on Main Street).. come soak up the positive vibes and share in this wonderful celebration

yeah, do they have a standard waiting period before you can become CoW again? |

I'm intrigued to know how Floop is adjusting to just being a regular customer now. |

I think Kathryn WAS Floop's female companion. But there was something in the coffee, and now she doesn't remember.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

You have a female companion?

today was my last day.. they gave me and my female companion both free coffees, even though she isn't customer of the week.
i should ask for the picture. it's actually a decent picture of me, which is rare. usually i hate my pictures |

update please. |

Omigod, there's a picture?
You must post it here, floop.

i don't know what they do with the picture. that's a good question |
| tobafett |
Posted - 06/23/2005 : 05:54:05
any more news on the customer of the week?
Are you frequenting the joint more often now than usual? (I'm thinking--dining there several times a day). Do they give you the picture in the frame once it's over (in three more days) or do they keep it in their "C.o.W." file?
I ask the questions because most of us have never been rewarded for our patronage in such a fashion...(hangs head) and you're the standard bearer! |

I forgot "French press". That's also appropriate for the thread. Carry on. |

Merci! I was under the impression that it was Le Monde on the right, Le Figaro on the left, Liberation trashy tabloid. I stand corrected!

That's as simple as that :)

Man, the French know how to make a good coffee, I'll tell you that. Do you think if I petition hard enough I can get a pause cafè when the smokers go for their break?

Seulement l'un fois. J'ai voulu acheter Les Inrockuptibles quand j'était là-bas. Mais je n'ai pas été.
Désolé, je connais uniquement la passé composé et le futur proche. C'est tout.

Je ne sais pas. Je ne connais pas l'homme de piano. Je connais l'homme de fromage. Il
lit les journaux français, tu sais.

Oui, bien sûr. J'ai besoin la pratique. Remi dit-moi je doit lire plus. Si tu parles français, tu peux voir pour quoi.
Je ne sais pas qui journal est bien, qui est mal - ils sont tous en français.
J'ai lu que "l'homme du piano" en Angleterre était français. Est-ce que c'est vrai?

maybe i should hang out by my picture wearing the same clothes, so people know who i am
it has been nice getting free coffee
Hehe, I think the phone number could have brought mixed results. For every hot lady that called, you'd get 5 pranksters. Could be worth the trade-off I guess.
Don't believe the type!

I've only just seen this. This is a pretty significant piece of news, I'm surprised I didn't hear about it in the Saturday supplement of Le Figaro.

I'm not happy with how we've been left hanging on this. Where are our reports? Is it all that you dreamed it would be? Have other customers started asking you for drink recommendations? |

you're going to have to get drunk and hang out at the shaky, earth quake-prone, tsunami-ridden beach all weekend just to make it through.

All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies
i'm not a fancy coffee guy. i always drink their regular coffee, because it's the best. i'm addicted. on a rare occasion i'll get a cappuccino but not usually
my week doesn't start till next week by the way. |

Don't do it! Stick to the coffee and show them that you buy it because it's the best and not because you're cheap. They'll respect you as a coffee drinker.
Now, if it's a hot afternoon and you've had your cups of coffee, you can forgiven for drinking a fufu coffee drink. But, it can't be your base. You've got to have your coffee. But you know this; you're the god-damned customer of week. They chose you because you've got what it takes. Now go out there and pound some Italian roast! |
