"Did you sleep at all last night?" asked Daisy.
"Not much after 3:30 a.m." said Ruby.
Occasionally this happens to Ruby, who knows why...unusual surroundings...to much excitement the day before.. the strong cup of coffee she had with her desert... the cocktail she had before bed... maybe a combination of all of these factors result in an attack of insomnia. At 6 am. she gave up the fight, got ready for the day, grabbed a book and headed for the lobby.
"Is there any place to get a cup of coffee?" asked Ruby of the maintenance man.
"Hummm ... " he said... the cafeteria is closed, but go back and ask anyway", he advised. Ruby followed his instructions.
"Is there any chance, I could get a cup of coffee?" she said to the attendant, half asking, and half pleading.
The attendant did not hesitate. He dropped what he was doing and headed back to the kitchen, returning with a fresh, hot, cup of coffee, stirring sticks, a packet of cream, a packet of sugar and a packet of artifical sweetener.
Ruby thanked him and attempted to pay, but he refused payment. She took her coffee and settled in front of the huge lobby fireplace with her book , she thought to
herself,"The customer service of this place is very impressive."
