When a rich customer named Sir Giorgio offers P150,000 in exchange of dinner with extra service, Rico balks simply because he doesn’t know what it is! Later in the story, he would ask Eboy, a former macho dancer, what exactly is an extra service and even ropes him in for an actual tutorial session. For a café owner, Rico has the intellectual quotient of a turnip. He would rather sleep with his barista, dance and cavort with his staff in front of a salivating audience, and offer himself to his effete barista Virgilio (as gratitude for the latter’s loyalty) than endure one night with a well meaning customer who’s offering more than what he needs? The mathematics here doesn’t add up! —Makemeblush2.blogspot.com
