I work in the cafe section of a reitrement community. I hate it. I hate it so much. The only reason I can't quit is because my parents would just make find a new job (if this sounds pathetic, keep in mind that I'm 17). Still, it pays $9.50 an hour, so things could be worse. I guess.
It's not that I hate old people, it's just that most of the old people I serve are either slow as shit or miserable pricks. Within my first week, I had already been yelled at and given a brief lecture from one guy because I accidentally gave him green beans when he didn't ask for them. They take this shit seriously.
It has a few perks. Some people are interesting, like this old asian dude who sounds almost exactly like Regis Philbin. But since Asian Regis has been acting cranky as of late, I'll share a far more interesting story.
One day, as we were a few minutes from closing time (6:45pm), an old woman approached the desert counter where me and the cashier, Farah, were working/secretly eating food.
What happened next can only be described as baffling.
OLD LADY: Excuse me.
ME: Can I help you?
OLD LADY: Do you have any prune juice?
ME: Hold on. Farah, do we have any prune juice?
FARAH: No. Sorry ma'am, we don't sell that anymore.
OLD LADY: Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm feeling constipated, and the prunes usually help.
ME AND FARAH: .......
OLD LADY: Thanks anyway. Good night!

Seriously, she scares me to death.
My grandma is as much hilariously scarily racist in a sad way ...(the first think she said when she saw my Ex GF was "What a beatifull and WHITE girl")
WOMAN 1: Soup is good on a cold day.
WOMAN 2: What did you say, Doris?
1: I SAID SOUP IS GOOD ON A COLD DAY
2: WHAT
1: SOUP IS GOOD ON A COLD DAY
2: I CAN'T HEAR YOU
1: SOUP IS GOOD ON A COLD DAY
2: WHAT WAS THAT
And so on.
-The only thing that I can say about Asian Regis is that he's old, Asian, and he sounds like Regis Philbin. Aside from that, he's the same as every other resident.
-I don't need a NVGR tag in the title. I already put NVGR in the tag thing, and the title alone should be obvious.
