so today's shift was nice and short.
i even got let off twenty minutes
earlier than i was supposed to.
i was stoked.
and as usual, kylie, felicia, and i
were complaining about rude customers.
[i have to tell one of our regulars tomorrow
that he can't keep demanding $0.50 coffee..
and if he reacts meanly, i have to 86 him.]
anyway.
one lady flipped out at kylie today because
there wasn't whipped cream on her latte. well,
i had written up the cup and taken her order
and she never mentioned she wanted whip..
and lattes don't come with whip. and kylie
is preggers, so she's pretty darn irritable.
i asked what was wrong and the lady started
yelling at me.... we didn't really know how
to respond without being rude, and felicia
wasn't there...
but one of our other regulars looked at her
and said "lady, you're pitching an unnecessary
fit over WHIPPED CREAM. there is a war going on,
there are children in africa who are starving, there
are people who don't even know if they're going
to have dinner tonight... and you're treating them
as if they told you that they murdered your family.
it's whipped cream. so calm down. if i were them,
i would shoot the whipped cream straight into
your face and i would have banned you from
this store. but no, i don't work here. so ask them nicely
for some whipped cream and remember to ask
for it at the register next time. these ladies are nice
and they don't have to be nice to you."
i felt gob-smacked myself after hearing that, but
i was grateful that someone stood up for us.
i like our regulars.
now i have the rest of the day to myself.
and i don't have any homework.
what am i supposed to do?
le sigh. haha.
love you.
God bless.
p.s. i'm rethinking going to UC berkeley...
i don't think i want to go
that far away to a place
that's not exactly my top choice of
areas to live in. especially since
i'm establishing myself pretty well
down here and i have great friends
here and i don't want to leave everything
behind. so i'm thinking...maybe UC Irvine. :]
