Well, that was fun. I worked 4:30-12:30 last night and we were extremely busy. I swear we sell more pizzas some nights that does the Brother’s Pizza across the street. The best part of the night was when two random drunk guys came in. (By the way, I work in Beech Creek which is five miles from Howard, and nothing but churches and bars.)
Now I am used to my regular drunks. But I get a little leery when random, never-before-seen drunks come in. Frankly, I just don’t trust them and these two were so far gone that they were holding onto each other just to be able to stand and walk. The spokesman for the two said they needed a pizza. I told them I’d make it for them but it took eight minutes and they had better hold it together until it was done.
What did I mean by that, they wanted to know? I told them straight out that they needed to do one of two things: wait outside or stand over by the counter in the corner because I was not about to deal with them falling all over my store OR throwing up.
They went outside to smoke and I put the pizza in. I was the only one there and proceeded to wait on other customers and finish up for the night. They got their pizza and went back outside to eat it on the sidewalk. This was in the winter, on a snowy night at about 11pm. All the more power to them.
I had to laugh though because the guy came back in one final time for napkins. I told him they better land in the garbage can.
He said, “Ahhhh, come one Kim. You know me better than that.”
To which I said, “I’ve known you for ten AGONIZING minutes. They had BETTER land in the can.”
He laughed. I must have grown on him. I’m not sure feelings are mutual.=)
Then I am still laughing about something my friend Sue told me. She works at a locally owned deli part-time and they did inventory one day this week. One of the women was flipping out because she was stressed because of all that she had to do. Sue asked her what she had and the woman showed her a page and a half of numbers. Just numbers. They just needed to be added up. The woman even had an adding machine and she was still in a tizzy. Sue said, “Give the paper to me. I’m gonna show you something you’ve apparently never seen before. It’s called MATH.”
Haha. It’s no wonder I love this girl so much.
More snow. Time for more shoveling and salting! Love to all!
