A.S.C.A.P. #1 (A Short Customer Appreciation Post)


A couple of nights ago, I had a customer whom I found pretty awesome.

*insert wishy-washy-flashback sequence*

A car pulled up to order, and I did my customary cheery "Hi, how are you today," as soon as I heard the -bing- in my ear. A young man responded in the positive, and somehow we actually sat there for about two minutes kind of just talking and joking via the speaker before he ordered. It was really cool and the guy was super sweet. At some point during our banter, he said a curse word into the speaker. It was absolutely too cute - he sounded as if he was surprised it had slipped out and asked if he was allowed to say it. Assumingly he realized it was a silly question and before I could respond he said, "I guess this isn't television, right?" I told him I would say one too, so he wouldn't feel awkward. He seemed to appreciate this and proceeded to tell me so.

*end flashback*

It was really refreshing to have someone so naturally upbeat. Dude totally made my night, and I wish that I had more customers like him. A lot of people come through and start getting rude or huffy with me and it's completely unnecessary. You're only going to be here for a couple of minutes tops - there's no need for all that.

So to you sir (though it is likely you will never see this), I say thank you for being you!
