moral of the story: don’t bring outside food to a restaurant.
we were busy one evening and had this group come in. they ordered with no issue and as i was surveying the dining area, a bottle of soy sauce caught my attention.
me: i’m sorry, could you please put that away? we have a no...

oof this one hurts me to this day.
me: hi, how are you?
customer: good.
there's a bit of an awkward silence, yet a few moments later he speaks.
customer: i've never been here before, what do you recommend?
me: well, what do you like?
customer: steak.
me: uh, the bulgogi is pretty good...

a
customer: can i get a ginger ale and a water?

this will also be a different sort of post: rules of etiquette (concerning service workers)
01. if a cashier asks you how you are doing, it is not acceptable to
a. ignore them
b. “fine”
it is, however, acceptable to say ‘thank you’ or ‘how are you doing’ back to them.
02. it is not...

this is gonna be a long one, as it’s about a previous coworker who made me want to rip my hair out. it’s been long enough since she’s worked here, and, for anonymity’s sake we’ll call her ‘B’ shortforbitchlol
now, she was a regular customer who came in ordering french fries every day, and...

me: we use a pre-mixed handful of carrots, peas, and green beans.
customer: oh i hate peas, can you take them out?
me: no, i’m sorry, as i explained before we pre-mix them.
customer: oh okay, can...

it can get relatively busy at the restaurant and this was one of those times, and after working near a high school for four years, i can say i've come to dislike most that come into the store. below is a reason why.
the phone rang and i picked it up, answering with the usual "hi this is...
a place for my work rambles, customers can be surprisingly thick when they want to be.
for context i work at a korean restaurant, so most of the items in question centre around that type of cuisine, along with sushi.

one of the most recent things would be my mum walking into my room to check up on me and hearing
“don’t worry mum, she’s not catholic”
other than that i’d have to check my sleep app for funnier things. i also don’t breathe in my sleep, prompting her to have a little compact mirror to stick...
imo, you have to use a mix of both "nice" and "mean" criticism.
for example: "this was a really nice read, however, i think you have to work on your word usage in a few places."
or
"i really like the way you develop your characters but the grammar and punctuation threw me off a bit. perhaps...
02. Pay to eat
we sell extra mambo sauce for twenty five cents due to people taking an ungodly amount when it was free. this included people who just came in, took some, and left.
customer 1: do y'all have mambo sauce?
me: yes, for twenty five cents
c1: ugh i don't want to break a dollar but...
a place for me to tell stories of really... interesting customers that i have to deal with throughout my working days. some will be moderately funny, i guess. feel free to reply with your own ridiculous stories, if you have any.
01. a tax-ing situation
scene: at work, we sell lumpia for a...
since it isn't too far of a walk, i (obviously) walk to work instead of driving in the morning and my best story takes place last year.
i was at the intersection of two busy roads waiting for the crosswalk to let me go and this dude is sitting in his car next to me yelling to try to get my...
*quietly raises hand* my eyes are almond shaped with a little bit of a hood. i wish they were a nice green but sadly they're a medium brown.
depending on the lighting they look more amber but most of the time they're a chocolate brown. they're pretty enough, but i want my mums green eyes...
i have another great one bc i love being a cashier .-.
"Can I Help You?"
Disclaimer: i go after appearance with some not nice ways of putting things bc i get irritated easily.
so today two guys came in when we were busy, which is no problem. i'm a great cashier and am pretty fast. the first...
mine isn't nearly as ~naughty~ or risque, butttt
Lumpia Lover
so at work we sell lumpia and we have a "combo" meal called the lumpia lover which comes with six lumpia, fried rice, and a can of soda. so this dude comes in with his girl friend(?) and ordered "two lumpia lovers". as i read off the...
