Hello again my fellow nerds!
Sorry it's been so long, but I've been working. At a job.
A real one!
And! And! And! I get to work the cash register! I love my new job.
I love making customers happy and making milkshakes and restocking sauces and napkins. There's only one downside to this job- the lingo.
For instance, my company requires I say "would you like me to refresh you beverage?" Instead of, "can I refill your drink?".
Now that may not seem that hard, until I end up saying something like, "can I refish you bev-erage? I mean, refresh. Would you... May I refresh you beverage?... Your drink."
I also have to say, "my pleasure" instead of the typical "you're welcome." I was actually enjoying this one until it came out like this.
Customer: "why thank you young lady!"
Me: "you're wel- pleasure. I mean... My pleasure. Not yours. I mean, I'm happy to serve you because it's my pleasure... Um. Yeah."
Needless to say I got the hang of it eventually.
One more thing that I wasn't used to was the speed of the cash register as it flies open, hitting me in the gut.
Now I jump back before it opens.
