What happened last night? I'm trying to remember. Argh, I hate it when I want to update and then forget why I'm updating.
I worked for Gina-Bean last night, 'cause she called me yesterday morning sounding very dead. It was fairly uneventful, except for the man who wouldn't even look at me when I was trying to take his order and check up on him, and mumbled everything. I asked my manager to check up on him, and Jeff said he did the same thing, so the guy was just rude and it wasn't me in particular.
Oh, and the girl who refused to actually say what she wanted. It was all "I want this," with pointing. So I did what I always do. I asked which one, and told her that I couldn't see what she wanted because my contacts were fuzzy. Her friend ended up saying what exactly she wanted. It wasn't even like she couldn't speak English (you non-English speakers get a break in that department, so long as you, you know, actually try to communicate with me). She just wouldn't say the name of the meal she wanted. When customers try that thing with me, I play dumb. It may be rude of me, but there's no need for me to play Twenty Questions when you can freaking SAY you want the Smoked Chicken Quesadilla, rather than pointing at the tiny print that I have to lean over the table, and nearly across the lap of the guy you're sitting by, just to read.
Oh, also, please don't mumble, and use clear gestures. If I'm not sure what you're saying or gesturing, I'm going to repeat myself. If I keep repeating myself, it means that I can't understand you and you need to be more clear. Don't give me a dirty look because you aren't communicating clearly with me.
In other news, a guy said he had a question for me and it was kind of personal, so I immediately fired back with, "Yes, I'm Muslim, yes, I was born in America. I converted a month ago."
Yesterday was my one-month anniversary of converting, by the way. Send Twinkies.
Anyway, then I asked, "Is that what you were wondering?" It was. ^_^ Another guy asked pretty much the same thing, so I said the same thing, but it turns out he remembered me from the last time I worked at the RoA (Restaurant of Awesome, if you don't recall from previous posts), and wanted to know if it was me or not.
The night was going good until my coworker Judy came in at 6, when I was supposed to be off. Turns out Jeff put the wrong person in the cash register, so I had to stick around until the manager came in at 7, but hey, it's more money for me. And .02 hours of overtime, lol.
So I skipped class today and slept instead. Then I went and got my check-up at the optometrist for my contacts and then paid my storage unit. The guy said he accepts payments of Chipotle, lol, so next time I need to pay I'll bring him some. ^_^
I can totally sympathize with stupid customers who mutter under their breath what they want. It's so rude! That and people who try to ask for something with their mouth full of food. Ew. Say it, don't spray it.
