Middle of the day, on the 31st, I have a half-senile old man in front of me.
"Are you the one that's working today?"
... That would explain why I'm wearing a M&P's uniform.....
"I'll take six honey wings, and a pound of ham"
"...I ... don't know how to sell ham."
"I just need a pound of it"
"I don't know where we keep it, or what the price is"
(Takes over 5 minutes to find someone who DOES know where the ham is, and another 5 to find the price)
I look at the clock. 6:50. I look forward. Six people standing around, all wanting hot wings. There's 50 in the case. Problem? All 50 are reserved for someone who called in two weeks ago .
"How can you guys not be cooking anymore? I wanted hot wings!"
"...Well, it's 10 minutes before we close on New Year's Eve... we aren't cooking any more"
"But I promised the guys I'd get them hot wings!"
"You should have called in beforehand. There's nothing I can do about it now. Have a happy new year."
