Bronco Burgers!

[redmountaingoldfish]

Two quick sightings from the last time I went to a Bronco's (local burger joint that hasn't changed since the 50's, according to my patents).

The Long Way
The restaurant has four cash registers all in a row, and an entrance on each side of this row. The place isn't too busy, so only the far right register is manned. A guy walks in the door by the open register, then walks all the way down the row to far unmanned register. When asked to come to the open one he replies:

"Hell no man. Its too far, and I'm too tired."

This after he has walked across the length of the restaurant when he entered right by the open one.

Cashier then takes his order by walking between the two registers.

Guy then sits down and keeps changing how he wants the order by yelling things into the kicthen like.

"Hey Sport, y'all know I don't want ketchup." and
"Hey Sport, you don't put both meals in the same bag."
"Sport, you best be better not giving me no ketchup."

The cashier's name was not Sport.

Angry Phone Man

While eating, the man sitting behind me made various threats in third person while talking on his cell phone.

"That b***h better not f*** with my car."

And in response to if she did f*** with his car.

"I'll make her eat her teeth."
"I'll f*** up her face."
"I'll take her teeth out with a hammer."

Mr angry phone man sounds like a lovely charming individual, how lovely.

APM needs the chipper.

"Sport, you best be better not giving me no ketchup."

I don't know why, but it always annoyed me a little bit if a guy came up to me at work, asked me a question about something, and then would constantly refer to me as "Chief" or "Boss". Especially concidering that my name tag was always pinned to my shirt.

Apparently, 'chief' is a euphimism for c*nt in London, so ladies and gents you have been warned.

It is?!

.....why? That makes no sense!

Well, I'm nowhere near London, but maybe some people thought I was a...

Sounds like APM was going through a very nasty break-up or divorce...

I doubt it, I'm only 150 or so miles from London and I only heard about it around 18 months ago, from one source so I wouldn't worry about it.

Common here as well, it seems to happen more to the larger guys at work (myself and one of my colleagues) then any other people. I don't care, I find it a bit more weird when people prefer to automatically refer to you by first name (that they actually read my nametag) unless they specifically ask for further reference, or if they're regulars or mall staff.

I agree with that! It's kinda creepy when someone walks up and says it right away, or insists on using it several times. I don't mind when it's the end of the transaction (they can take a bit of time), that's expected.
