Green Coffee One Peso Soft Opening Treat!



The best things in life are free comes at bargain price.



The moment I saw this post by Greean Coffee, I was determined to be one of  the 100. Meticulous planning, strategy meeting with friends, Informing everyone I know about this (not really).  And all that planning paid off! (Again Not Really)

It was around 2:40 in the afternoon when I got there,  and what awaited me was a multitude of people waiting for the store to open. (The photo above was taken after the store opened,)

When I saw how many people there were, it was clear to me that I won't be able to avail the promo. So I, with the intent of conceding, head to the gate which was right in front of the entrance to the cafe, and had a bit of small talk with the people who positioned themselves there while waiting for the store to open. As I was just about to decide to leave; Fate, once again, intervened...

I did not see nor hear how, but it seemed that someone, maybe the staff, or manager, or an apparition, signaled that the store will be opening in a few minutes. A sudden wave of customers, once scattered throughout the cafe exterior, flocked towards the entrance. Pushing me closer and closer towards the front, until I was a few steps away from the door.

I guess I was lucky, being at the right place at the right time and all that; but I did feel somewhat guilty. While waiting for the door to open I decided to talk to people beside me to help time pass. They told me that they've been waiting since 11AM, And how there were a lot of people that came in later who were in front of the line. All I could say was "Yeah... it's unfair..." Unknown to them I was one of those people (It wasn't like I intentionally pushed to the front of the line, it Just Happened).

A few minutes later it was ribbon cutting time, a few people in front Waved their One Peso in the air as if some sort of revolution has been won. A loud Cheer roared throughout the cafe as the Manager(or Owner) cut the ribbon. But much like the revolutions of the past, what was once the loud cheers of comrade became battle cries. Once those doors opened it was every man for himself,  It was a quick battle, the victors were decided in a few seconds.

And as I sit here writing and enjoying the spoils of war. I look back at a time when Victory seemed but a dream.


By The way, Green Coffee's staff handled things quite well today, though there were a lot of customers today they were able to handle things and accomplish their tasks. Of course there maybe some confusion with orders and such (though I didn't experience this), it is understandable due to the sheer number of customers they had today. For a soft opening cafe, I give it a 3.5 out of 5 Coffee Beans. I had a wonderful time a Green Coffee Marfori today, met and talked with a few people I will probably never meet again.
