I was working a really quiet bar shift with Boss. Boss decided that she wanted to clean and organise all of our candle holders seeing as they had seen better days. The candle holders are basically large jars filled with sand and a candle stuck inside, so to kill time, she was cleaning out the old candles and melted wax and replacing them with new ones. She was doing this while she was stood at the end of the bar, but had to leave the task several times to do other jobs. So we basically had about a dozen jars of sand at the end of the bar.
So I'm walking around, clearing tables, when a man walks up to me. He has his coat on and is just walking out the door.
C: I think you should check out your salt and pepper. It was gritty and horrible!
Me: Oh...that sounds really strange. I'll look into that.
The man left no bother. I didn't think anything of it. I checked out the salt and pepper pots (which are kept no where near the bar!) and everything seemed fine. I shrugged it off and carried on.
About an hour later, I hear a woman shouting.
SC: Ugh! This is sand! Ugh! I ate sand! Bleeeeeeurgh!
The SC stormed up to the bar and confronted Boss.
SC: My meal is ruined! I put sand on it!
Boss: *Is completely confused* Huh...sand?
The SC picks up one of the candle holders and batters it down on the bar.
SC: I thought this was seasoning! I put it on my food!!
Boss' eyes look like they are about to pop out her head.
Boss: You put sand on your food??
SC: Yes, because you left it lying around!
Boss: Well it couldn't be clearer that these were candle holders! Look, some of them even have candles in them!
SC: Well they still shouldn't be lying around! I have sand in my teeth now!
Boss: Well maybe next time you will learn not to sprinkle unlabeled substances all over your food.
SC: So...that's it?
Boss: Yes.
The SC huffed and walked away. She sat in the corner sulking for the rest of her stay and left about twenty minutes later, giving Boss a very sarcastic "Thank you for the lovely meal!" on her way out.
I thought about the man that came up to me earlier. So that was two customers who seasoned their food with sand in one day.
