I titled this to hopefully help with the Google search for the sake of our blog. And I do apologize for the crude language.
But, one of my customers was a bit of an ass. I don’t think me meant much by it, because he is older.
Here’s the story:
I am Asian. Korean, more specifically (yes this does have relevance to what the story is about). Two couples sitting in one of booths in the section that I waited on tonight came in with the same expectations as any customers do. I have never had a problem racially wise with the customers that I wait on, but I have had problems with the ones that I don’t. He looked to be about mid-eighties and was hunched over like a giant hand was curving him towards the ground. A pudgier little thing with hair so white it would be able to blend nicely with snow.
None of them were all that talkative until the food came out. He made small talk with me like how most of the elderly community does. We touched upon school and I told him that I was studying to become a pharmacist but might be leaning more on the side of a surgeon. He automatically thought that I was trying to become a surgeon’s nurse. So I lied to him and made up some story about different nursing schools that I wanted to go to. He told me that he thought I would make a good nurse, which was sweet of him if that’s the career I was actually intending to get into. Now I figured that he must have misheard me because I did, in fact, had to repeat my name several times before he got it right. After we talked I pretended that I was busy so I could go socialize with myself seeing that I didn’t feel like speaking very much with my co-workers. Except asking them if they would sign the letter I am going to write to PETA.
On a different note, I have so far sixteen yeses and one maybe.
Back to the story: I came back to check on how the food was tasting and to refill some of the beverages. The little man looked at me and said that his friend over there was trying to use chopsticks. I didn’t have much to say so I asked how she did. He said that she did okay, and then she pointed to what chopsticks she used, acting as if the type of chopsticks played a role in how awful she was at using them. I pretended to laugh and he laughed as well not picking up the hint. Then he told me that he thinks that I would do a much better job because I am Asian. Huh. Well, I am Asian, and he’s right. I would do a better job.
This actually doesn’t offend me, (whoa, I just tried to spell offend with an “a”), but figured it was good enough to blog about. Other than that, I don’t have much to say except I am feeling extreme pleasure that my Peta project is soon to go under way.
There was a video that I was going to post, but I forgot what it was plus my youtube isn’t working at the moment.
I have a feeling that I am going to get shit about this blog. Don’t worry, I am preparing myself.
