Lady walks in at three minutes after we closed the buffet, Friend is more upset than she is.
I explain that there is a BBQ pizza in the oven, and the Ranch they want, but we can't put anything special out for them like the other people who were here long before. No you can't have a discount for the time, unless you have a coupon.
"Well.. I'm a senior!" says the Friend, so I naturally ask her I.D. Sounds stupid, but you wouldn't believe some of the people deperate for cheap pizza. She shows me her card, she's only 55!!
"I'm sorry,ma'am, but 65 is the senior age in this state," so after little fuss they get their buffet.
Lady and Friend eat one salad each, two slices of pizza, and then Friend goes for desert.
I was at the counter and suddenly heard a RRSHHH RRSHHH noise
Walk around, and Friend is trying to saw a pizza slice in half with the spatula, denting the pan >_< I ask her to stop, and explain to me what's wrong, and she proceeds to set her hands on the fruit desert pan she's sawing, and the cinna bread pan
Gross..
"I don't want these both slices, they're too much!" So I respond with,"Ma'am, that's one slice... if you'll just put it on your plate you can cut it safely with the knives we supply you."
"Oh.." How hard to think of.
I throw the remaining fruit desert and cinna breads away, as I'd not want it after some stranger put her hands on it. The Lady and Friend are outraged, and I tell them its hygenic AND corporate policy, I don't want them getting sick.
"Are you suggesting I have germs??? "
..... No, I'm suggesting I have no idea where your hands have been, and people who didn't raise a fit about not being old don't want your non-senior germs on their food.
Luckily, the biker couple took humor in this debacle and we all had a smile at the end.
