\"\"The Sweet<\/b> Service<\/b> Award<\/b> goes to Caf\u00e9 Roca Speakeasy in Franschhoek, with excellent service on my recent visits to it in Franschhoek, first for a Tapas lunch and writing of a new chapter of my SwitchBitch Book 3, then returning for live music played that evening. Owner Craig Sherril offered to sell my SwitchBitch books at the restaurant, a very kind gesture. He also showed me the new Marilyn\u2019s Champagne and Oyster Bar as well as Sushi restaurant he is opening this month, next to his Caf\u00e9 Roca Speakeasy. <\/p>\n

\"\"The Sour Service Award<\/b> goes to Discovery, for its very disappointing weekly Rewards on offer at the moment. The attractive R100 Woolworths and Pick n Pay vouchers, as well as the R250 Sorbet vouchers have all disappeared, leaving one with Smoothies and other beverages, and online discount websites, none of them of any interest at all. <\/p>\n

The WhaleTales Sweet & Sour Service Awards are presented every Friday on the WhaleTales blog. Nominations for the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be sent to Chris von Ulmenstein at chrisvonulmenstein [at] gmail.com. Past winners of the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be read on the Friday posts of this blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n
