Words Jail Me
(I work at a coffee shop in a botanical garden. I am serving a couple that has difficulty speaking English.)
Customer #1: “Also, can we have a kidnap?”
Me: “I beg your pardon?”
Customer #2: “Can we have a kidnap?”
Me: “You…want me to kidnap you?”
Customer #1: “No! No! I want…a kidnap!”
Customer #2: “You know, kidnap!”
(She forms a square with her fingers.)
Me: “Oh, do you want a napkin?”
Customer #1: “Yes, kidnap!”
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
