pls don't use your fingers!

At our hotel, the Night Audit helps the breakfast hostess set up a little. It's more a kind gesture then a requirement. I was getting the danishes, muffins, etc out. Enter a male guest from down the stairs into the lobby.

BL: Breakfast Lady

SC: Oh! I didn't know you had breakfast out (we didn't, we just had the cart of the first load...still on the cart)!
Me: Oh we don't yet...
BL: Not quite yet. Hot food won't be out until 6.
SC: Coffee ready?
Me: Yep, it's all hot.
SC: *spots the danishes* Oh can I get one of those roles? (Keep in mind, they are still loaded up on the cart.)
Me: Oh...sure...lemme *guest lunges towards cart* (I wasn't about to let him use his hands. We have tongs for sanitary reasons.) *I grab the plate of danishes to prevent him from using his hands.* Here are these. *I grab the tongs and offer them to him.*
SC: Okay...(THIS IS THE POINT WHERE HE DOESN'T GIVE A POO AND STILL USES HIS FINGERS!)
Me: Well...we don't really want people using their fingers... (I said this is a disgusted way because to me that is suuper gross and rude.)
SC: Oh...yeah...uh...I know.


I had had a rather rough weekend and night. Gotten lots of bad news & let's just say I am rather...on edge. I am polite until I am not listened to! I shoulda told him that I had to now throw them all out just to make him feel bad. He was more rude then sucky....but to me...yuck.

Oh...yeah...uh...I know.

But, of course, it couldn't possibly apply to you, thus, you use your fingers anyway, because you're just that speshul and exempt from aaaalllllllll the rules...

<whimper> I'm starting to understand how they think. Halp...

I'm right there with you, hippie. I think it's disgusting to use your fingers in a public food supply.

To paraphrase UnholyPet, "The tongs are clean, hooker. Use them!"

This always makes me really mad. You had more restraint than I would've.
