The Sweet Service Award goes to Atlas Trading in Bo-Kaap, for its well-priced coarse salt and peppercorns, all clearly marked with its content, expiry date, and the price on the shelf. I have always tried to buy refills for these products at Pick n Pay, never having the correct product, or only selling them in expensive non-opening pepper or salt grinders.
The Sour Service Award goes to ESKOM, for putting the country on to Stages 3 and 4, with three power outages a day for most days during this past week, shortening my working day with WiFi access to 4,5 hours on some days. Not only have the number of outages been severe, but the notification was extremely short notice, and confusing with different Stages for the daytime and at nighttime! While we are grateful to the City of Cape Town for reducing our Stages by one on some days, it added to the confusion as to the Stage one was on!
