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!

MMMmmmm.... chocolate....
Hey Shan,
I was going to post this at f00Dave's livejournal, but he's got anonymous posting turned off.
I haven't been able to get to shanmonster.com for a couple of weeks. The connection keeps timing out. The one time I could get to it, it wanted a username and password for DI-604, whatever that is. Is something wrong with your server?
Thanks,
Romulus

lationship.

Hurrah for tomorrow!

"...friendly and annoying..." It's too bad when people are that combination...If they're just annoying you can justify kicking them in the pants.

Wow, that's a lot of cow boob juice.

THANK YOU!!!! for the bread...it smells delish! I can't wait to eat it. Do you remember if it has dairy in it or not? I don't want to slice off a big hunk after a bowl of Pho and anger the Big Hebrew G-d In The Sky.:)
