A tweet about funny customers reminds me of my waitressing days. Those were the good days. Since I was the only girl, my fellow male colleagues were really sweet with me. Customers....mcm tu lah. Some were really sweet some were total bitches.
My top favourite customers were
1. Okay so there was this one day, it was lunch time - rush hour. There was a female customer. She sat out of my working area, like say I was in charge of section C but she was in section A. But everytime I passed by her table - either to submit orders or the send food to the table, she’d call me. She called me twice and I asked her, politely, to wait for a moment. My friend would come. She was pissed off. She was with a sweet old granny and she was like “it’s okay we’ll wait. Then she smiled at me.”
Once I kinda settled down, I rushed to her table to take order. Everything was cool. They left.
But the granny kept coming back, and we’ll talk. She was very sweet. Until one day I told her I was working there only temporarily. My SPM results would come out on the next day. What she said next touched me, and I would never forget it.
Granny “It’s okay dear, don’t worry. Allah bagi yang terbaik untuk orang yang terbaik.”
My heart melted.
I took my leave the following day (obviously I had to go get my results didn’t I?) and my friend said granny came by and asked how was my result. They told her I got straight A’s. However, very sadly, she never came again after that. I kinda wanted to see her again to tell her the happy news myself. I hope you’re doing well granny ❤️
2. It’s a group of 3 boys. They were probably a year or two older than me. They were from schools around mine. Let’s jusy say, around that area there are many schools, mine was top and the other schools were rather.....lousy haha (sorry!)
They were really playful. They always came by and hang out when it wasn’t rush hour. They’d sometime call me and tell me silly stories, show me magic tricks etc. They knew I was from SAB (my school) and they knew I was waiting for my results.
On the day I was back to work after the results day, they came. I took their orders and everything and they called me, asking about my results so I told them “Alhamdulillah I got straight A’s”. One of them went “SHIT!” the other went “Told ya.” and I was like..... “Can I know what’s going on here?”
And guess what? They had a bet on my results! LOL! I find it funny and sweet. Such a fun bunch.
3. There were more actually. I had quite a pleasant experience working back then. Those very cerewet customers whim I happen to be nice to, and the whole family liked me and wouldn’t want any other waiters to serve them other than me. The sweet Chinese guy with his little son who always order the same thing every time they came, and even gave me and pao on cny. The waiter next door who had a crush on me, and the waiter in the other shop whom I had a crush on.
It was a fun time. I’d do it again if I have the chance. ❤️
