Cafeteria

This morning as my sour dough toast - with butter and jam on the side -arrlved, I realised that the "butter" was probably margarine. It often is at sandwich shops and I find it quite bemusing when they ask "Butter?" (on your sandwich) when they have no butter, just margarine. I was pondering if this was worthy of blogging - and came up with "no" … until later this morning, at a hospital cafeteria, when a gentleman, awaiting his order was asked "Margarine?" Finally ... truth in sandwich-making. Which is why it was then nice to watch the same cafeteria worker opening a fresh packet of coffee beans and pouring the contents into the grinder attached to the cappaccino machine. She took a deep breath, savouring every last trace, and said how much she loved the smell. Definitely "a perk of the job" some wit in the coffee line remarked (okay, it was me).
Also notable at the same cafeteria was the sign displaying this wording: Today's near miss could be tomorrow's accident. Please report all near misses.
