I would like to share a story from a minute ago, but it really needs to see the light.
Last Summer I was working a night shift at a coffee shop over by a bus station… we got odd people often. I had been out in the sun all day and was Zapped!!! whatever… I get to work and clock on. As I am making drinks and taking orders I notice at a table nearby a man is sitting and STARING AT ME HARD. The kind of stare you can feel down your spine. I pretend not to see him because honestly I was terrified of direct eye contact with this man.
He walks up to the order window that we take for people not in cars, but unfortunately this required me to hop on the counter to open it up (many bruises followed this maneuver). I open the window.
“Make me another one of these!” holding a cup.
“I don’t know what that is, what did you have?”
“I don’t know. You made it.”
“Im sorry sir, I just got here.”
“Just make it again for me.”
“Ok.” I make him an Americano with cream and sugar…. simple enough. But as I am handing this man his drink. HE REACHES INTO THE SHOP WITH A PINK TASER AND TRIES TO ZAP ME. But unfortunately he wasn’t so lucky.. if so this would be a cooler story.
I am baffled. stuck. no words. But my shift lead at the time did. She runs up and is shouting at this man. They go attttt it for like 30 seconds and i’m just standing there. “no how dare you?” “I didn’t.” “yes you did I literally saw you.” “no!” “yes I saw you!”
“my bad.”
And he leaves!!!! HIS BAD!!!! I had to cackle that is funny af. And its the story at work for the next day or two…..
A week or so goes by and I am working a midday shift. I am currently assigned to the same window area and I see my man walking to the stand. I knew it was him instantly because of his peg leg.. wait hold up did I not mention his peg leg before? lol my bad. Ok whatever.
I tap my coworker on the shoulder and tell him that it was the pink taser man. He offers to step in for me. HELL NO! this is my business to attend. He comes up to the walkup window
“Good afternoon sir, what can I get for you today?”
“Coffee” and he sets a slingshot into the stand, he is also holding a large stick with a feather duck taped to the end in his other hand.
“Im sorry Sir but you can’t set your weapons in here.”
“WEAPON?!” he screams. I jump. “No ma’am this is my pea shooter.”
“Oh my bad, can you take your pea shooter out?”
“yes ma’am”
“ok thank you.I think I can make you something.” So obviously I put in an order for an americano with cream and sugar. He is staring at me. So I ask “Are you experiencing any Deja vu ?” His eyes get HUGE. “Yes I am.” I say “How strange me too.” Let’s not forget that this whole time my coworker is not leaving my side. God bless him.
“I have something for you.” this man says to me. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a purple croqueted granny square and honestly it was really dirty…. what the hell?!!!?! He throws it at me and it lands on the counter. “I made this for you in my sleep.”
“No way, in your sleep? I don’t believe you.”
“YES IN MY SLEEP.” He shouts.
“Ok I believe you, wow this is really nice. Thank you but what am I supposed to do with this?”
“Wear it” he says to me with a smirk.
“Its too small, where do you want me to wear this?”
“On your head girl!” So I throw the dirty rag on my head and start posing. He jumps around shouting. He takes his coffee and leaves.
BEST DAY EVER
my coworkers thought I was insane.
I am..
