lunch time faux pas . . .

By Lesle | April 8, 2009

Last week my coworker and I went down to the deli in the basement to grab our lunch.  This has turned into our weekly ritual.  He usually gets a salad, and I’m always in the next line over getting a yummy grilled flat bread sandwich.  Anyway, last week his line was REALLY long, so long he decided to get something else and got in line with me.

We realized that the chick at the front of the salad line was ordering like 15 salads! ???  We mumbled under breath about how thoughtless that was, heck . . . the people behind her were going to waste half their lunch standing in line. Not only that, she was slowing up the sandwich line because that server was also helping with the salads.

So fast forward to today.  I go down there, a little later than usual to grab my yummy grilled flat bread sandwich.  The sandwich lady–I should really find out her name :duh:–asks me how I’m doing.  Fine.  I asked if she had recouped from that crazy salad line last week.  It was kinda loud in the deli, so we weren’t exactly talking in low voices.  You know where this is going . . .

Sandwich Lady:  OMG, can you believe someone would come down and order that many salads . . . IN LINE?

Me:  I know!  SO inconsiderate of the other people trying to get their lunch.

Me:  I mean . . . Hello?  Have you ever heard of a telephone?  :holding invisible phone up to my ear:

Sandwich Lady:  :chuckle:

Me:  Maybe you could call it in next time and not be such a pain in the arse!

Sandwich Lady:  :chuckle:

At that moment I looked towards the salad line, and O.M.G.  The chick was standing right next to me.  I mean, like, RIGHT. NEXT. TO ME.  We were almost touching we were standing so close!  There is no WAY she didn’t hear my smart ass self.

And she had about five salads in her hand, and was waiting on a couple more.  LMAO  I spun the other way and noticed her coworker standing behind her just a bit with several salads in her hand.  She must have heard me too!

I was kinda shocked that they did it again!  I know they are just doing their job, but this seems highly inefficient. I mean, sure, it’s lunch, but sheesh, find a way to streamline your procedure.  Pffffft.

Anyway, I’m such a goob.  You know that old and wise adage about not saying anything unless you have something nice to say?  Yeah.  I need to practice that more.

    Hopefully your comments will make this lady think twice next time (but probably not, she seems clueless!)

    Ooops! Oh well, sometimes we all need a wake up call. Hopefully that was theirs.
