interesting personnel


Well since it is past 12:00 midnight its not cinco de mayo anymore, but yesterday was! And lucky for me I got the opportunity to work at Bajio Mexican Grill! Let me tell ya, everyone and their dogs were there! So many people came in, I was kind of freaking out, but it was awesome. Within all the chaos and running around I couldn't help but notice the very interesting people coming in.
1. A couple came in, they were made for each other. The girl was wearing a huge black t-shirt, some olive green pants hiking boots and her hair was a rats nest. The guy was wearing a full jean outfit, jean jacket and pants, and his hair was really long and extremely greasy. He was also very tall. When I rang them up I realized, wow this girl must be high or something, she was unusually twitchy and fidgety and she couldn't talk fast enough. The guy grabbed the tray and noticed there were no utensils on there, so he asked his girlfriend "do we eat this with utensils or just our hands" the girlfriend pointed to the utensils behind them. He grabbed the tray and, thank goodness, grabbed himself and his one true love some utensils. They probably really would have ate it with their hands, can you imagine? I thought about them eating their salads without utensils and laughed/gagged, not the prettiest sight.
2. An older man came in during the slow time, between 2:00 and 4:00, and I watched him open the door and enter, and he was seriously struggling to walk through the doorway. I was thinking to myself "oh great, we have a drunk on our hands" and sure enough, he was sooooo wasted! In the middle of the day! And he was not a bum, he was clean looking. I kind of smirked and laughed as he walked into the wall while entering the store. Just to give you a visual, he had peppered gray hair, white scruff, sunglasses, and sweatpants. I helped him through the cold table, asked him "would you like some cheese on your chimichanga?" I looked up and he got slightly excited and said "ooooooohhhh yaaaaaa" so I said "alrighty you got it, any sour cream?" then he got even more excited, and with the same monotone slurred voiced murmured "aaaahhhh mmmm yaaaaa pppuuuuut soooomeee oonn theerrrrree" so I did and rang him up on the register. His total was 10.27, he paid with a 5 dollar bill and the rest in quarters. He just kept pulling change out of his pockets, every pocket he had on his body was full of change. Mind you, this whole process is taking about 10-15 minutes, when it should only take 3-5 minutes, especially during the slow time. He kept giving me change, and I had to stand there smelling his rancid sour alcohol breath. He left GOT IN HIS CAR!!!!!! and drove away. Can you believe that? A guy, so unbelievably drunk getting in his car and driving! I was so mad. Next time he comes in, I am promising you all that I am going to call the police and get him under control, the idiot.

Well for now, that is all I got, and all that I can remember. I'm sure there were a ton more, but since it was so busy I couldn't pay full attention to any details. Sorry I write so much, but this is something I don't wanna forget, and I thought, people sometimes like stories, so I told you :) anyway enjoy and tune in again sometime.
