A funny thing about sharing anecdotes about the TH with customers is that it can be helpful at lunch time.
Telling how in Japan you must bring towels and apologizes, and I think you can at least expect tea, and maybe snacks, sometimes get the food gifts flowing to the crew. (Grocery Outlet had protein bars for $0.25 each the other day, and cheap SlimJim type meat-sticks, so I try to keep the truck stocked with extra food for the guys, so nobody goes hungry...engine doesn't run without gas...human engine doesn't run without food, and maybe coffee).
Ask for a cup of water, and they might start offering coffee and snacks. Ask for coffee for one, and suddenly people remember, oh yeah, these guys are busting their butts, and they might offer coffee and snacks. (personally, I never go to work without a coffee thermos, PNW and all)
Probably if you re-live, slightly loudly enough to be overheard, about how Huldah (our recent chef) had snacks, ice water, coffee, sandwiches, etc, or Karen (another appreciative homeowner) had chips and salsa, protein bars, and ice water on a 90's day, people will be wanting to join in those ranks.
Its 'forces' some breaks that otherwise might not be taken. We relaxed and ate at Karen's waterfront jobsite. Nice.
