Possible complaint because I didn't understand the term she used

Update: So last week I had her in my lane when I was cashiering and she was just chipper and sweet as pie. I've decided she's insane.

She wasn't already?

Heh, what a weirdo. Part of me would be tempted to ask other paying customers if they know what a "warmer" is, just for validation to see if you are or are not in the know about those things. If nobody else knew about it when you polled them, I would have told the lady, "since that day I've asked other customers if they knew what a "warmer" was, and (insert higher percentage) of people didn't know either, so it's not just me, lady. There's no law against starting a trend though.."

When I read "warmer" the first thing I thought of was one of those sleeves (usually cardboard) that you put around takeout coffee cups ...

Yeah, me too.

Should've pissed in her coffee and said: "Is that warm enough for you, madam?"

And LOVE it when the mumbling, whispering, patois, foreign language, or incoherent muttering is the service person's fault.

I've had to say to a couple of people (well coworkers mainly, sometimes my bf), "I don't understand mumble"

haven't had the balls to do that to a customer yet

Oh yeah, the people whose special "inside" language is supposed to be clear as day to anyone and everyone else.

I say inside language because there's a lot of weird words my family or friends or coworkers and I make up, but we'd never expect anyone outside the loop to get it.

My bf's go-to for that is his damn ShoulderShrugItis. That's his answer to practically anything. Even once or twice shrugged at a server who asked to take his order.

I told him people can't read shoulder shrugging. He got huffy. So I quit that tactic, and started another one. You don't answer me, I'll decide what your answer is. Don't like it, speak up. Or in his case, LOL, it's shrug, let me decide, and hold a day or two grudge for having an opinion but not being ballsy enough to say it but I'm supposed to know that!

I love him, I do. I just want to beat him senseless often, though.
