The Man of the People?
2 min read“”Several incidents have caught my eye here in the UK. On Tuesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron went to buy coffee and a snack from a café in Gloucestershire.
The waiter did not recognise him and after he asked if they sell take away, she replied: “Yes, but I’m in the middle of serving somebody.” Cameron coolly said, “I’m so sorry” and got to the back of the queue for a whole 10 minutes when his aides got him coffee and a doughnut from a nearby café.
The PM sat outside, had his snack and with no hard-feelings went back into the café where he’d queued and posed for photos and chitchatted with the guests.
By then, the waiter had been alerted whom he was and she went and apologised for failing to recognise him but still – light-heartedly though – scolded him for buying coffee elsewhere.
Last year, Cameron had another rough encounter with a waiter while on holiday when he requested her to take three cups of beverages at a table outside. She told him he would have to take them out himself because she was busy behind the bar. She too did not recognise him at first and the PM later posed for a photo with her.””
