I think God heard me saying I’d rather have weird and tedious customers than rude customers and was like “let me test that theory”
#why did i have 5 in a row#first there was this family who just all didn’t seem to know what was going on at all or what they wanted#‘can i have this heated up… no wait. no not that one. no. bev do you want this heating up? what? what? no. oh. can i have THIS heated up’#i ask where they’re sitting so we can bring the food out to them. blank stares#as it transpired; my coworker managed to heat them up in the time it took these people to get their shit together and pay#whole time i’m just standing there going through the five stages of grief#THEN i get some fairly normalish people but why did they ask for cups and straws for their canned drinks and then leave without the cups#i’m just standing there looking at some cups#THEN the next guy had forgotten his wallet#and then there was a string of french people and the one man wanted to preorder coffees ‘to drink later’#my exchange with him honestly went on for way too long i feel like because i was trying to clarify in my own brain what he wanted#him: can i order some coffees; pay for them now and drink them later? me: … yes. yes; i think so. which coffees would you like?#him: *french noises* espresso. 2 espresso. me: single or double? him: one large one small. me: so a single and a double? him: yes#me: and you want to pay for these now and come back and get them later? him: yes me: so you’re paying now and later you’ll come back and get#them and we can make them for you and you’ll drink them? him: yes me: okay; great. i’ll just write this on an order ticket for you#i literally wrote down ‘1x single esp; 1x double esp PAID NOW; MAKE LATER (he is french)’#he did come back like 15 minutes later#and then the next people had just the biggest order ever and were asking me about seven million questions about cake#i was like ‘i’ll get you a manager’ they were like ‘no no it’s okay’ then WHY#THEN the dippy family from the beginning did not like the cheese and leek pasty they’d ordered so one of them came back#and bought a sandwich. i just had to be like ‘i’m sorry’ like i don’t know what to say#apparently ‘it smelled too strong and she wouldn’t eat it’ it’s CHEESE and LEEK and you had it warmed up. i could’ve told you that about#melted cheese. and THEN someone asked if we do soup. SOUP? in AUGUST??#when i tell you it was a hot day. my hair felt like it was melting into my head. i……#and my backup was the guy i call ‘the sheriff’ who is well into his 50s and suffice to say i want to fuck that old man#it was one of those shifts where you just have to laugh. and thank god that no one ordered a soy milk anything#personal
