I Drink My Tips
A lady bought me half a litre of chocolate milk the other night at work.
This woman is a regular customer. She's friendly, huge, and very annoying. I don't think I've ever had the displeasure of hearing anyone else giggle the way she does. With her constant simpering, she's like a parody of a cartoon character. Each night she orders a litre of chocolate milk and between 3-6 doughnuts/muffins. She is accompanied by a quiet Jack Sprat-type, who always gets a couple of cookies and a large double-double with milk. He's the bastard who stole a coffee during Octoberfester.
Anyhow, when she orders her milk, she likes to get two large containers (500ml apiece). The other night, we were all out, so I brought her four 250ml containers. I think she was shocked when she saw four containers, even though the amount of chocolate milk remained the same. She froze, stuck her bottom lip out like a gloss-covered plank, and said, "I suppose I can drink all those."
She supposed wrong, because when she left, she'd abandoned two unopened cartons on her table.
I guess this takes the place of a tip.
And now I go in to work. I've been called in an hour early. Here's hoping they can let me leave an hour early, too.
I give my notice tomorrow. I give my notice tomorrow.
Tomorrow!
