"They only buy coffee, no pastries"

I work 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day to keep my business going. I have been losing around 30% of business these last two weeks. People don't have money, they try to save what they can. They only buy coffee, no pastries. You can't take the coffee away from the Greeks.

The trouble we have now is getting change. Everyone comes with 50 euros notes, because the banks don't have 20 euro notes. So getting change is a challenge. But so far we've managed.
