Running an office can be a very stressful job. Throughout my years of service to my company I have had many great experiences, as well as some that provoked anxiety. I have learned that a good cup of coffee can be my best friend and my worst enemy. I love the energy drink, but I hate the effects on my stomach especially during times of great stress. Low acid coffee promises relief to my dilemma.
Low acid coffee serves the same energy inspiring service supplied by the traditional beans, but without the acidity. I am dependent on my morning brew, but I also don’t want to have the acidity of the beverage wreck havoc on my digestive system. Nausea and a stress filled afternoon in the office don’t make a good pair. Some people can drink coffee that tastes like mud. These individuals are looking more at the effects of the energy drink rather than the taste. I, on the other hand, really like to enjoy my morning brew. Good taste and low acid coffee do not always go hand in hand. After months of trying different low acid coffee brands I discovered two that are top notch in my book.
Helva coffee is my personal favorite brand. This low acid coffee is indistinguishable from a regular cup of java. Actually, it is better than average. This low acid coffee has the taste and smoothness that we demand in the best gourmet Arabica beans found on the market. Does Helva coffee stand up to it’s Arabica counterpart? It definitely does and I don’t have to worry about stomach upset. I usually purchase this brand online which makes it even more convenient. I have two supplies. One goes to my home and one goes to the office. My Helva low acid coffee is my favorite discovery since finding my great personal assistant. This brand is top of the line as far as taste. In addition, it is the one of the least expensive low acid coffee I have found which is another perk.
Any business person knows that it is very important to have a back up plan. This holds true even for low acid coffee. When it comes to the special blend of coffee beans, Puroast comes in a close second. This brand is not Arabica quality, but it is better than your average low acid coffee. Actually, it is better than your average regular brew as well. Helva low acid coffee is my first pick but I definitely will never turn down a cup of Puroast. Either way, I am free of the acidity of regular java and I have a new lease on my coffee enjoying life.
As the wife of a business owner, I know how frustrating and annoying it can be when you end up receiving a bad check. This happens more often than it should and can really cause some major frustrations. Often times, the person who wrote the check is incredibly embarrassed and apologetic and corrects the situation immediately. Other times, we have encountered people who cannot be reached or promise to rectify the situation and we never seem them again. We are left holding a bad check and being out the money for merchandise they purchased and in essence, never paid for. We have contemplated whether or not we should even allow our customers to write a check, but we simply cannot do away with that practice. Our bank has given us some helpful tips to possibly avoid receiving a bad check but we cannot catch every single one.
I am the first to admit that I have written a check before and had to have my bank draw finances out of my savings account. However, I have overdraft protection so the only people who are inconvenienced are myself and the bank. Apparently, many people out there do not have this advantage and bounce checks left and right. I don’t mind getting a bad check if it was a mistake. If you go shopping and have no doubts that you are paying with a bad check, you deserve to pay the consequences. The state governments have started to really take action with people who are passing bad checks around without a second thought. Instead of fines, some people face jail time now.
Our bank told us that we can always refuse to accept a check from a customer. We have the right to ask for a cash payment if we simply do not feel comfortable with taking a check. Refusing to accept a customer’s payment could very well be saving us from receiving a bad check. I make a point of getting a phone number and driver’s license number at all times. I hesitate to take a check that has a low check number on it. I have on occasion refused out of state checks which has upset some individuals, but I need to watch out for my business and cannot chance whether or not that may be a bad check.
Most people have taken to paying with a check card or a credit card. When using a check card, I know that there cannot be a bad check. If there isn’t any money there, it will not allow the transaction to be completed. A check card is a blessing for business owners. No longer do we have to wonder if we have a bad check that we’ll be depositing into our account. We will know immediately whether or not a sale can be made. I try to pay for purchases as often as possible with my own check card simply because I understand the frustrations of receiving a bad check. I am always on guard when working at the store.
