me, holding a pizza box and shouting: SUE!
customer walks up
me: sue?
customer opens the box, frowns, and sticks her finger in the pizza: i didn’t order pepperoni
me, with a voice devoid of any emotion: ……. sue?
customer: oh! no i’m (name)!
the actual sue, materializing at my elbow: is that a pizza for sue?
me: would you like some free breadsticks to eat while we remake you pizza? another customer touched it
‘another customer’ sheepishly mumbles sorry
sue, who has clearly worked with the public: you take as long as you need to, honey
me, shouting at the top of my lungs: ICED VENTI VANILLA LATTE FOR JENNIFER
male customer standing right in front of me turns to look
me: jennifer? iced vanilla latte?
customer says nothing, takes the drink, shoves straw in, takes a long sip
customer: i wanted this hot. i ordered a small hot decaf skinny vanilla latte.
me: are you jennifer?
customer: no, i’m daniel
Some people wonder why people fight wars, but I have no trouble imagining reasons for people to just haul off on each other.
