Like many people in our community, I enjoy any opportunity to visit the Java Moose to have a fabulous coffee drink and look out at the harbor at the same time. It is a wonderful ritual to enjoy whether one is alone or with friends.
On a recent visit I inadvertently left my purse with all my identification when I left the Java. I did not realize it was missing for some time. A few hours later a Java employee called me to inform me they had the purse and were holding it in safekeeping until I could come and claim it, which I did immediately. The wonderful employee would not take a tip although I knew enough to put an appropriate amount in the tip jar to express my appreciation.
It made me realize, as I do time and time again, what an awesome community we live in. Java Moose employees are known for their infinite patience and friendly service as we all order our various coffee/ice cream concoctions with a smile. Kudos to them, and to all the small businesses in our community who work so hard each season to provide quality food and service to the community and visitors alike. Hats off!
