Favourite “at work” memory | Once while I was working at Langside Grocery, we hadn’t yet set up the espresso machine. A regular customer who was always asking for espresso at the end of his meal came in, and I stepped out for 10 minutes to run down the street and grab him a coffee. He was so appreciative and I loved being able to make his day.
