My maid used to drink coffee a lot (about three
to four cups a day.) I think she is just too fond
of it. I set quota for her simply because I hope
she would understand my kind opinion for her
health. You may set your own quota.
My maid said she would buy for herself. I bought
one small bottle every month. She would rather
drink less because she knew she should do so
for her own health. It happened that every Monday
after Sunday, she needed extra fuel maybe.
:wink:
my maid requested "milk" for breakfast, but we don't eat breakfast at home. Will you buy for her? What will you prepare for her breakfast? I just provided bread, butter, jam, no drink to my previous maid (fried already), I think she can take water. Is it too mean?
My maid is the only person who drink coffee at home. However, I am willing to buy her coffee and coffee mate. She used to drink 1-2 cups a day. She told me that she likes cheese for her breakfast (eat with bread), I also buy that to her. For me, if the maid is good, I don't mind to give her such things to make her happy. But of course, I will set a bottomline, if she requests bird nest, I will fry her immediately. :mrgreen:
I have one experience to share with you, it is my friend's story and it happened on her maid. MY friend lived in one of those old style apartment buildings at the southern district. you know the kitchen there is as big as my master bedroom or even bigger and they also have servant's room attached with staircase to outside. So the maid does not have to pass thro; the front door to go out, just use the backdoor at the kitchen. My friend is that sort of tai tai and without much control on her maid(s). Everyday, the maid's breakfast is just like you have 'buffet' breakfast at hotel, beacon, egg, milk whatever you name it. However this is not the problem, the real problem is the maid cook every sunday and share all the cooked food with her friends. One day my friend eventually discover what her 'good' maid had done cause she cannot find the lamb rack that she specially bought to serve us for party and when she asked the maid, the maid said that she had it and had it all?!. So I think proper control on maid is important and the degree of 'reasonableness' depends on each family. So in my house, my maid will never think of beacon, cheese for breakfast because we dont have either, my kids only have very simple breakfast like bread and milk so do they?!. So if you ask for my view, I will never buy any special food for them and at most they have the same kind of food that we have!!We have to be reasonable to us also.
