Drinks at work



Over in middle east working culture, there is this concept of tea boys for every department - no tea lady or auntie. The tea boys are mainly from india, pakistan etc. They are pretty low paid - 200 to 400 sing per mth with food and lodging provided. Basically, at work, you can order as many drinks as you like for free. But the catch is that only those which they have
- arabic drinks - arabic coffee, turkish coffee (super not nice), arabic tea (super sweet, no wonder 1 in 4 qataris is dabietic), zatar (arabic herbal tea - worth drinking).
- fruit drinks - orange juice, cranberry juice, no apple or water melon or mango juice..
- plain water.

as for me, most of the time, i had orange juice and cranberry juice. per day. hee. dun think such treatment will happen in singapore.
