Getting My Just Desserts

Customer: What kind of pie do you have?
Me: Chocolate cream, banana cream, coconut cream, apple, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, or peach.
Customer: Oh...no pumpkin?
Me: No.
Customer: Oh..that's what I was hoping for.
Me: *sigh* Then why didn't you just ask for that in the first place?


Customer: What kind of desserts do you have?
Me: Well..for pies we have chocolate cream, banana cream, coconut cream, apple, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, or peach...there's also cheese cakes, strawberry short cake..blah blah blah..blah blah blah blah....so what did you decide on?
Customer: Me? Oh, nothing..I was just curious
Me: .......


Me: Can I get you folks anything else? Did you save room for dessert?
Table: Well..what do you have?
Me: Well..for pies we have blah blah blah blah ...blah blah blah....etc
Table: Um..well...I'm just too full..are you guys going to have anything??? I'll have something if you have something...no...oh...well...I guess not..
Me: So you're all set then?
Table: Yup.
Me: Are you SURE? You're good to go?
Table: Yup.
Me: Okay..I'll get your check.....................Well here it is..you folks have a good night now.
Table: Oh..we changed our mind..What did you say you had again?
Me: *sigh* *scribble scribble scribble*


Me: Did you save room for dessert?
Customer: No. What kind of pies do you have?
Me: Seriously?

Refined Tastes

Customer: What sort of exotic teas do you have?

Me: Um..exotic doesn't really work around here...We have regular, decaf, or green.

Customer: hmmmm...well..i was looking for more exotic..take for instance, we were just at the McDonald's on the turnpike and they had all sorts of exotic teas. And I figured if McDonald's had exotic teas than everyone must.

Me: Sorry..not in this town..you're quite a ways from the turnpike. Exotic has too many syllables for most of the individuals around here.

Customer: Well..they had that lovely tea..what was it? Oh..CHAM-O-MILE. It was delicious.

Me: You mean chamomile? Oh..you can get that at Wal-Mart...but not here.

Stupid Question of the Day

Customer: What the hell is plum pie!?
Me: It's pie..with plums in it.
Customer: Smart ass
Me: wah?

Grrr

Customer: What the hell did you do to your hair? How come your hair's all red?
Me: How come yours isn't?


Ask me stupid questions...receive stupid answers

Full Moon

You can always tell when the full moon is approaching...the weirdos come out of the woodwork and descend on the diner. Even regulars turn a bit wonky. I've asked to have the week off preceding this lunar phase, but my boss will have none of it :(

You Can't Make This Up

You know the ones..the moment they walk in the door you inwardly groan because you know you're in for at least a half hour of hell.

The two "ladies" are old..the third is ancient and known only as 'Grandma'.

STAGE 1: DRINK ORDERS

Myself: "What can I get you ladies *ahem* to drink?"

Number 1: "Coffee." (mush-mouth on account of no teeth)

Number 2: "I'll have a Pepsi." (mush-mouth on account of no teeth smoker's voice)

Myself to Grandma: "And what can i get you to drink?" no response.... "Ma'am..WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRINK??"

Grandma: "huh? What's the soup?"

Myself: *sigh* "I don't know the soup. It's 10am."

Number 1: "GRANDMA...YOU WANT SOME TEA??" blank stare

Number 2: "GRANDMA...YOU WANT SOME HOT TEA???" blank stare

Number 1 & 2: "GRANDMA...YOU WANT SOME HOT TEA!?!?!?"

Grandma: "I'll have some tea."

*sigh*

STAGE 2: FOOD ORDERS

Myself: "Are you ladies *ahem* ready to order?"

Number 1: "I'll have the roast beef."

Myself: "You mean the hot roast beef sandwich?"

Number 1: "No..the dinner."

Myself: "We don't have a roast beef dinner."

Number 1: "I want it rare though. How rare is it?"

Myself: "Er...we don't have a roast beef dinner...just a hot sandwich."

Number 1: "I gotta have my roast beef rare..other wise it's just pot roast."

Myself: "WE DON'T HAVE A ROAST BEEF DINNER."

Number 1: "Oh..Why not?"

Myself: "I don't know..I don't make up the menu."

Number 1: "Is it rare?"

Myself: "For the sandwich? No..it's thin sliced and heated so it's not rare."

Number 1 to Number 2: "TSK...I can't believe it..we have to go to the Island to get anything decent to eat."

inwardly thinking PLEASE GO BACK TO THE ISLAND AND DON'T COME BACK!!!
outwardly smiling in a grimace

Number 1: "You don't even have french onion soup."

Myself: "Yes we do..it's right on the menu there...under your thumb..."

Number 1: "OH..you didn't tell me you had french onion soup."

Myself: *sigh* "You didn't ask if we had it."

Number 1: "I'll have french onion soup"

Myself to Number 2: "And what can I get you?"

Number 2: "What do you have for dinner?"

Myself: "You mean today's special? I don't know that yet...it's 10am."

Number 2: "No..what do you have for DINNER?"

A little dumbfounded here...

Myself: "errr..it's all right here under Entrees." pointing to the entree section that she's already spent 10 minutes staring at...

Number 1: "You can't get dinner yet..it's too early..they won't let you."

I love individuals that know the innermost workings of a place they've never been employed

Myself: "ACTUALLY..she can get anything on the menu right now."

Number 2: "Yes..but what do you HAVE?"

Really dumbfounded here because I know Number 2 can read

Myself: "It's all right here..." jab jab jab "HERE...see..ham...steak...fish...meatloaf...HERE."

Number 2: "oh...but I want mash potatoes."

Myself: "Okayyyy....You can have mash potatoes with any of the dinners..."

Number 2 to Number 1: "I want mash potatoes..look at this...it's eleven dollars. I'm not paying that for mash potatoes."

Myself: "Well..Ma'am..you're paying for a full entree..with salad bar and everything..that's why it's over ten dollars."

Number 2: "But I don't want to pay eleven dollars for mash potatoes."

inwardly crying

Myself: "You don't HAVE to get a dinner..you can just have a side of mashed potatoes if you want."

Number 2: "I don't what just mashed potatoes!"

grinding teeth

Myself: "Then get some cole slaw or SOMETHING."

Number 2: "I DON'T want coleslaw! hmmm...Oh I know! I'll have a hamburger deluxe. That comes with fries right?"

Myself: "Yes." as an after thought..."WAIT..would you like mashed potatoes instead?"

Number 2: "I can do that?"

Myself: *sigh* "Yes..you can do that..."

Number 2: "oh that would be lovely!" to Number 1: "oh look it comes with coleslaw. I love coleslaw."

Dear God..please give me strength..that butter knife is only 3 inches away...

Myself to Grandma: "And what can I get you?" blank stare

Number 1: "GRANDMA!! YOU HUNGRY?" blank stare

Number 2: "GRANDMA!! ARE YOU HUNGRY??" blank stare

Number 1 & 2: "GRANDMA!!! YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?!?!?!"

Grandma: "What's the soup?"

Myself: *SIGH* "We have cream of broccoli or tomato corn." Grandma thinks for a moment and shakes her head

OH NOW YOU CAN HEAR!?!?!?!

Twenty minutes later I go to check on them. I ask Number 1 if she would like more coffee...she does. The moment I start pouring she moves her mug and coffee goes everywhere....

Quote of the Day

Customer: "Can I have the broccoli soup?"

Myself: "Would you like a cup or bowl?"

Customer: "Which one is bigger?"


*sigh*
