I love the Blackforest Ice Blend in The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf shop at the new wing in Eastwood, Libis. Too bad because I really hate the way they asked for my receipt to claim my drink. I felt as if they were thinking I wasn't the one who bought that. I know it's the ultimate proof of ownership, but like many Filipinos, it's not my habit of keeping these. Cha said that they probably had a bad experience. Maybe some asshole figured he could get a freebie. This explains why they're strict. But to me, they shouldn't take it out on those who pay. Also, asking for it nicely and politely would do wonders for their image. Maybe issuing number cards rather than the receipt is a better solution. Just my two centavos.
